Caulfield South Primary School has a quiet suburban location away from main roads, with boundaries adjoining parkland and residential properties. The unique, impressive original building is surrounded by attractive gardens, an extensive playground that provides passive and active play areas, exciting play equipment and a synthetic turf oval.

The school has a proud history, is strongly supported by the local community and has a current population of approximately 470 students.
