Say Hi to our Brand New Web Site! |
Welcome to Millwarra Primary School's shiny new web site. Recognising that our old site was looking a little dusty and wasn't very useful, we've decided to update our internet presence with a new, dynamic web site that will enable us to keep you all up to date with what's happening around our school as well as showing prospective parents and students that Millwarra is the place to be! |
 Millwarra Primary School is a multi-site school situated in a semi-rural area in the Upper Yarra Valley, 70 kilometres from Melbourne. It is the only dual campus Primary School in Eastern Region. This enables flexibility of staff which is critical in the provision of specialist programs. Students have access to resources of both campuses. The two school sites, one at Millgrove and the other at Warburton East, are approximately nine kilometres apart, with the township of Warburton in between. The school administration is centred at the Millgrove site.
The current total enrolment of the school is 138, with 84 at Warburton East and 54 students at Millgrove campus. Current enrolment growth at the Warburton East campus reflects a trend that has occurred in recent years of increased enrolments.
