Department of Education - Victoria

Turrun Primary School is a newly established primary school located within the heart of Berwick Waters Estate, Clyde North, Victoria, Australia. Opening our doors in 2025, our school is determined to provide a nurturing and stimulating learning environment where every student can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally. The school caters for students from Prep to Grade 6 with a built capacity of 900 students.

Situated amidst the picturesque landscapes of Berwick Waters Estate, our campus will feature modern facilities designed to enhance the learning experience. Spacious classrooms equipped with cutting-edge technology, versatile outdoor spaces, and state-of the-art amenities create an environment conducive to exploration, creativity, and growth.

At the heart of Turrun Primary School will be a strong sense of community and collaboration. We believe in the importance of forging partnerships between home, school, and the wider community to support student success and wellbeing. Through open communication, parent involvement, and community engagement initiatives, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive school environment where every member feels valued and empowered to contribute positively to society. 

Our school will be culturally diverse with a portion of families having a language background other than English (LOTE), with the largest LOTE groups being Punjabi, Sinhalese and Hazaraghi. The school will also have strong representation from the Koorie community. 

At Turrun Primary School, our educational approach will be grounded in evidenced-based teaching and learning practices. Aligned with the Victorian Curriculum standards, our programs will be designed to maximize student achievement and engagement across all subject areas. Through a combination of research-backed instructional strategies, formative assessment methods, and differentiated instruction, we will strive to meet the diverse needs and interests of our students, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. 

We recognise the importance of holistic development and will prioritise student wellbeing as a fundamental aspect of our school culture. Through dedicated pastoral care programs, social-emotional learning initiatives, and access to support services, we will be committed to nurturing the physical, mental, and emotional health of every student. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where students feel valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
