Echuca Primary School was established in 1858 and has been on its current site since 1995. In 2010 the student enrolment was 502. Our purpose is to provide a caring and challenging learning environment within a supportive school community atmosphere that equips children with the necessary skills and knowledge to become life long learners and valued members of a global society. The school has EFT staff comprising of 30.3 teaching staff and 3.7 ESS staff. The school also employs two trainees. ICT is integrated across the school and aims to ensure our students acquire skills with computers and the use of multi-media technology. All Year 5 and 6 students participate in the 1:1 netbook program and all classrooms have an interactive whiteboard. The development of a year 5 and 6 learning neighbourhood (completion February 2010) will develop an exciting and engaging curriculum for our students to transition to secondary schooling. The school ensures that all students will have 10 hours of literacy and 6 hours of numeracy each week. A focus on building teaching capacity has been supported by the appointment of literacy and numeracy leaders and coaches to further improve our students' achievements. The school has outstanding parent and community involvement in a range of activities such as the 208 Gala Ball, J-Rock, school fete, sporting activities, camps and excursions and art show.
