A philosophy that centres on 'respect' and 'responsibility' is at the core of the curriculum at Deloraine Primary School as we prepare children to face the challenges of the 21st century. The school, located on a 10ha site in East Barrack Street, is modern bright and has wonderful grounds that contribute to a truly vital learning environment. Deloraine Primary is succeeding in its major priority of lifting student outcomes in Literacy and Numeracy.
