Bayswater Primary School was founded in 1879 and has been an integral part of the Bayswater community for over 140 years. Bayswater is an outer eastern suburb of Melbourne.

Bayswater Primary School is a cooperative and inclusive learning community committed to ensuring every student is known, valued, and supported. We embrace diversity and work together to create a culture of belonging, high expectations, and success for all learners. The school implements a whole-school Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) to promote positive behaviour and support the learning and wellbeing of all students through tiered systems of instruction and intervention. Our approach is data-driven and strengthened by high-quality, ongoing professional learning for all staff.

Teachers at Bayswater Primary School are committed to explicit and evidence-based instruction. We are working towards fully embedding structured approaches to literacy and mathematics that prioritise mastery of essential skills and support students to achieve success through carefully sequenced, systematic teaching. Consistent, school-wide routines promote a calm, predictable, and supportive learning environment, allowing students to focus on learning and thrive. This approach aligns with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM) 2.0 and supports consistency of high-quality practice across all classrooms.

The school has extensive grounds that provide students with a variety of passive and active play areas, including a large oval, soccer field, and two full-sized outdoor basketball/netball courts.



The school also has indoor sports facilities including a school hall with a full-sized volleyball court, a half-sized basketball court, and bat tennis courts.

There is an onsite Kindergarten, which is run by Uniting Limited and hosted within Bayswater Primary School’s Early Learning Centre. This is an integral part of the school community.

Contemporary facilities provide space for generalist classes, as well as Performing Arts and Instrumental Music, Health and Physical Education, AUSLAN, Visual Arts, and Buddies, with venues for community groups and meetings.

The school values family and community partnerships, fostering close links with parents and the broader school community. This partnership promotes a cooperative school culture where the child is at the heart of everything we do. Bayswater Primary School is one of the five schools forming the Bayswater Education Plan, working collaboratively to improve educational outcomes across the local network.
