Discover Eppalock Primary School – where community and learning thrive

NESTLED in the beautiful rural community of Axe Creek, just 7km east of Strathfieldsaye, Eppalock Primary School offers students the unique opportunity to learn in a peaceful country setting while still being close to the conveniences of town.

Set on attractive, spacious and well-maintained grounds, our school reflects the strong community spirit that makes rural living so special.

At Eppalock, we are proud of our welcoming, close-knit community where students, families and staff work together to create a supportive and inclusive environment.

Families are actively involved in school life, ensuring that every child and family feels valued and connected from the moment they arrive.

Our students learn in small multi-age classrooms, allowing teachers to provide personalised learning and strong relationships with every child.

We offer a rich and engaging curriculum including:

• Mandarin from Prep to Grade 6

• Drama and Music

• Physical Education

• MARC Library Program

• STEM learning

• Living Green Sustainability Program

Students also enjoy opportunities to participate in cluster athletics, regional cross country and a range of sporting events with neighbouring schools.

Our school values – Be Resilient, Be Kind, Be Responsible and Be Respectful – are at the heart of everything we do. These values were chosen by our community and guide how we learn, interact and grow together. We use restorative practices and are implementing School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports (SWPBS) to foster a safe, positive and respectful learning environment.

Academic achievement is a high priority at Eppalock. Our teachers deliver a differentiated curriculum tailored to each student’s needs, with Individual Education Plans developed where required in partnership with families.

Our well-resourced classrooms include modern technology, with students having access to netbooks, iPads and digital learning displays.

Student voice and leadership are strongly encouraged through roles such as School Captains, House Captains, Performing Arts Captains and the Junior School Council, where students contribute to school decisions and community initiatives.

Beyond the classroom, students benefit from a comprehensive camps, excursions and incursions program, as well as strong connections with local organisations including Landcare, the Axe Creek Fire Brigade and the City of Greater Bendigo.

Our vibrant community spirit is also celebrated through regular community events, including our popular Crazy Bingo Night, Trivia Night and termly community gatherings, bringing together families, past students and local residents.

Eppalock Primary School is proud to be a 5-Star Resource Smart School, with a strong focus on environmental sustainability, including water conservation, tree planting initiatives and sustainable energy projects that provide meaningful real-world learning opportunities.

Eppalock Primary School is a welcoming, caring and forward-thinking school committed to providing high-quality education that nurtures confident, capable and responsible learners.
