Location and Demographics

Billanook Primary School is located 35 km east of the CBD in the picturesque foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. Children travel from Montrose and surrounding suburbs, including The Basin, Boronia, Kalorama, Kilsyth and Mount Evelyn.

Enrolment has trended up from 401 in 2001 to a current enrolment of around 480 students. We have a relatively low number of children from non-English speaking homes but value the cultural diversity 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. Support 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.
