Elliminyt Primary School is located in Elliminyt, a suburb of Colac. Colac is a rural city located in the foothills of the Otway Ranges and is 75 km from Geelong. The school was established in 1878
Classrooms provide light, airy, air conditioned environments for learning and staff enjoy adequate preparation, storage and withdrawal areas. An attractive, organised and computerised Library with a computer laboratory provides a resource centre for both students and staff. The school canteen, recently added to a renovated part of the old Special School Building, provides a varied menu on one day per week. Commonwealth Government Investing in Our Schools Programme Funds have been utilised to renovate the rest of the building to create a multi purpose room, the Elliminyt Primary Education and Events Centre (EPEE Centre).
The school motto, “City Education, Country Style”, succinctly describes this friendly, student centred school. A school where the consistent management of student behaviour, a high expectation of student achievement and a friendly, supportive environment produces young people who are well prepared for life long learning. |
