I extend a very warm welcome to you for visiting the Monmia Primary School website and trust you will be impressed. I am immensely proud and honoured to have been appointed the Acting Principal.

Monmia Primary School is in Keilor Downs and is a proud Victorian Government School The school has an outstanding reputation in the community and fervently fosters the three Rs, Relationships, Relationships, Relationships! The school develops strong partnerships between the school and the home so students can realise the motto of LEARN and ACHIEVE. As a small, ‘boutique like school,’ it feels like a family with a student enrolment of just under two hundred students.

The Aristotle quote ‘To educate the mind, without educating the heart, is no education at all,’ aligns with the school’s educational philosophy where student engagement and wellbeing have equal importance in developing the whole child. At Monmia Primary School, every student is supported with their academic, social, and emotional learning in a safe, positive, and secure environment to realise the vision of Loving to Learn, Learning to Live, Being the Best. We are a nationally accredited BeYou School and implement the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support Framework. Our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Safety underpin everything we do.

Our professional staff collaborate in Professional Learning Communities, implement evidence-based practices and share responsibility for continuous improvement for every student. Literacy and Numeracy are high priorities. Staff and students collaborate to develop and monitor personalised learning goals. Staff promote student leadership and agency, celebrate cultural diversity, and embrace inclusive education.

Monmia Primary School has just completed the breathtaking 6.943 million Capital Works Program. The school offers an architecturally designed STEAM collaborative learning space, spacious and refurbished Foundation to Year 2 learning spaces, a modernised and secure administration office, and an impressive soccer pitch. We have an award-winning library and is currently designing a spectacular inclusive and engaging outdoor adventure playground space. During recess and lunchtime, students have access to an inviting Happy Place to develop relationships outside the classroom in a supportive environment.

Choosing the right school for your child is a major decision. I invite you to make an appointment for a personalised tour to discuss what we can offer your child for his/her seven years of primary school education.

Kind regards,
