Children are in a school environment for 7 hours of the day, leaving 17 hours that they will be influenced by other family members. Our aim at Maffra Primary is to care for the ’whole’ child which includes having strengths in academic, social and emotional levels. We focus on delivering a comprehensive learning program to our students, to prepare them to be active and positive citizens.

Loocated in the township of Maffra within the Macalister Irrigation District, renowned for its dairy industry. The original building was erected in 1867 and together with the grounds area, in particular the Peppercorn trees, are of historical significance. Although most of the students live in the town, population 4000, some are drawn from the farms and smaller settlements in the area.
