Darnum Primary is a mid sized rural school with an enrolment of 100 students projected for 2011. It is located 7 kilometres east of Warragul on the Princes Highway. The school presents a balanced comprehensive curriculum developing skills and providing experiences in eight key learning areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Technology, Studies of Society and Environment, Arts, Health and Physical Education, and Languages Other Than English (L.O.T.E.).
