Location and Demographics
Billanook Primary School is located 42 km east of the city of Melbourne in the picturesque foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. The school has a Student Family Occupation Density of 0.34. Children travel from Montrose and surrounding suburbs, including The Basin, Boronia, Kalorama, Kilsyth and Mount Evelyn.
Enrolment has steadily trended up over the last few years to a current enrolment of 495 students. We have very few students from non-English speaking homes but a greater diversity in cultural backgrounds. We value the range of views and traditions they bring to our school community. The school has a highly regarded program for the integration of students with disabilities and impairments.
The teaching staff is highly committed to achieving the school’s goals and strives for continuous improvement. The profile reflects a balance of experienced teachers and recent graduates. We are fortunate to have a gender mix to provide a variety of role models for children. Ancillary staff enrich our program provision and provide administrative support. Team ethos is strongly supported by all staff and is a key feature of the school.
Our Vision
At Billanook Primary School we aim to provide a caring and nurturing learning community that enables all children to access a curriculum which challenges them to achieve to their highest potential and that develops knowledge, skills and resilience to be successful in a rapidly changing world.
