Landsborough Primary School is located at the foothills of the Pyrenees Ranges. It is part of the innovative and progressive Pyrenees Cluster which comprises 6 small rural schools (Landsborough, Moonambel, Navarre, Natte Yallock, Amphitheatre and Trawalla). It is located approximately 30 minutes from Stawell and Ararat and 35 minutes from Avoca and St Arnaud. The school's core focus is to encourage students to become independent, lifelong learners. We achieve this by creating a learning environment where our students can become risk-takers, independent learners, as well as, socially-aware members of the community.

Landsborough Primary School has in place enviable learning programs and teaching resources which enable its students to continue their growth. The school has a mobile library van (MARC) that visits fortnightly. The students learn AUSLAN in their Languages Program and this is taught at a local level by the classroom teachers. A kitchen garden runs weekly with students growing, then cooking their own produce on a fortnightly basis. Full Steam Ahead cluster Days are 3 times per term. This gives students from the 6 cluster schools the chance to meet and socialise with students from other small schools and learn in 5 specialist areas, Art, Science, PE, Music and Respectful Relationships. Other opportunities include camps, excursions and incursions.
