Location Profile Traralgon South Primary School is situated in a picturesque bushland setting an approximate 10-minute drive south of Traralgon.

Today, our school is comprised of families from the Traralgon South, Callignee, Koornalla, and Balook areas, as well as a growing number from Traralgon and neighbouring towns. At Traralgon South Primary School, our students learn in modern and spacious facilities. Our school includes 6 classrooms, a Library, an Art room, and a multi-purpose building used primarily for both our Music and Before/After School Care programs. All classrooms are fitted with contemporary IT teaching facilities, heating, and air conditioning. Externally, our school is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens which complement the surrounding natural environment. Two playground areas equipped with safe and stimulating equipment are located on site, in addition to two basketball/netball courts, a playing field and numerous grassed open spaces. Sheltered areas and courtyards equipped with tables and chairs provide further outdoor spaces for our children. ¿ Complementing our facilities are an adjoining community hall, oval and tennis courts, each used regularly by students for a range of activities.

At Traralgon South Primary School, we firmly believe that for every child, their learning experience should be enjoyable, challenging, and successful. Every child is provided the opportunity to develop to their full potential in a safe, positive, and stimulating environment.
