Each student's welfare is of paramount importance with established wellbeing practices in place across the school. The school enjoys high levels of student and community engagement, family support and staff satisfaction. Nathalia Primary is a beautiful school that welcomes new members of staff to teach, engage and thrive in the Nathalia community.

The school is located in the thriving township of Nathalia, which was established along the banks of the picturesque Broken Creek, in the Moira Shire. The Broken Creek provides a beautiful spot for a coffee or lunch from the bakery or cafes located in town. There is a number of sporting and community groups for locals to become involved in along with an established culture of arts and creativity which can be found at the GRAIN store. Nathalia is located within 30-40 minutes of Echuca, Shepparton, Cobram and Tocumwal all of which provide many and varied experiences should you wish to travel out of town, and, the Murray River and all it has to offer is only a stones throw away.

In 2027, we will continue to operate 9 generalist classrooms and this full-time classroom teacher role will be leading one of these classrooms.
