School History & Details

For almost 90 years, Aspendale Primary School has been providing education to the children of Aspendale and the surrounding communities. They take pride in successful history, but they are also dedicated to the mission of preparing every child under  care for a fulfilling future in the 21st century. Despite continuous growth, Aspendale Primary remains a relatively smaller school compared to others in the area.

The programs focus on essential areas such as literacy, numeracy, critical thinking skills, and student well-being. They strive to extend and enrich the abilities and individual needs of each student across all areas of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards.
