Upper Plenty Primary School is located at the foothills of Mt Disappointment, approximately 60 kilometres north of Melbourne.

The new building features four learning spaces, a large central learning area, two withdrawal rooms, toilet facilities, staffroom and an administration area. In 2011 we received a new BER building which provided an additional three classrooms, central learning space and withdrawal room. Each classroom boasts an interactive whiteboard and has wireless internet connectivity. While all classrooms have computer work stations, our ICT program has been focussed on building up a laptop bank which all grades can access. We have retained a double modular classroom which will be transformed into a library and art room facility. In addition to the seven classroom teachers, we have a part time Library teacher, Phys Ed teacher and Art teacher. We also have a Student Wellbeing – Curriculum Teacher. This role involves co-ordination of our extensive intervention program and a Teaching and Learning Coach role.
