Role description
Location Profile
Sydenham Primary School was established in 2026 as the result of the demerger of Sydenham-Hillside Primary School. It is located approximately 30 kilometres northwest of Melbourne's CBD on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People. We currently have 440 students enrolled at our school from Foundation to Year 6 and 75 school staff members.
Sydenham Primary School is culturally diverse, with 42% of families having a language background other than English (LOTE), our largest LOTE group is Punjabi. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive school community.
Our facilities include learning buildings, STEM building, administration building, gymnasium and hardcourts. Most students who attend our school live locally and tend to walk or ride their bike to school. Sydenham Primary School has developed close ties to the local community and enjoys support from our local shops and community services.
Sydenham Primary School offers a comprehensive and engaging curriculum program aligned with the Victorian Curriculum F-10, inclusive of Levels A-D. This ensures that all students, regardless of their starting point, can access a rich and differentiated learning experience that promotes growth in academic knowledge, critical thinking, creativity, and personal development.
We pride ourselves on setting high standards for students and staff and our vision underpins the schools focus on educating our students for the future. We strive to provide a nurturing and challenging environment that empowers students to reach their personal best, both academically and socially.
