Welcome to Warburton Primary School in 2012 - Phone 03 5966 2010
Warburton Primary School is a vibrant, caring school community situated in extensive and picturesque grounds in the Upper Yarra Valley at Warburton.
Our school is built on sound relationships with our students and wider school community, who are an integral part of the school's operations.
Warburton students are actively engaged in a broad curriculum that has Literacy and Numeracy as a focus, yet caters for their creative and physical needs.
We accept new enrolments at any time. If you are considering our school for your child, a visit to view our facilities and discuss your needs can be arranged at any time. Enrolment is a simple process, forms and additional information can be obtained from our school office or during your visit. Email or Ph 03 5966 2010
