Welcome to Templestowe Heights Primary School

We are a school that takes teaching seriously. Over the past several years, we have worked hard to understand what the research tells us about how children learn, and to put that understanding into practice in every classroom. The results have been meaningful, but more than any measure or data point, what I notice most is how our students feel about coming to school. They arrive settled and they leave with more confidence than they came with.

"If you are considering our school for your child, I warmly invite you to come and visit. No website can fully capture what a school community feels like, and we would love to show you around."

We were one of ten schools selected by La Trobe University’s Momentum Schools Project to support other schools across Victoria in developing their teaching practice. Over the past two years, we have welcomed more than 260 visiting educators to our campus.
