Skye Primary School is located in the City of Frankston in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, approximately 38 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD. Established in 1873, the school originally served a rural market garden community. Today, it enjoys a unique blend of suburban and rural surroundings, creating a distinctive and welcoming environment.

The school has undergone significant capital works, including the recent opening of a state-of-the-art basketball stadium featuring a music room, stage, and commercial kitchen. Additional refurbishments include a new Administration building, a modern Library, and the transformation of the old library space into a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) centre. The extensive school grounds feature a football oval, soccer pitch, two basketball/netball courts, and three separate playgrounds, including the dedicated 'Prep Backyard.' The campus comprises five main buildings and four portable classrooms, offering a mix of traditional and flexible learning spaces.

In 2026, Skye Primary School had an enrolment of 544 students from Prep to Year 6, with a Student Family Occupation Education (SFOE) index of 0.4422, placing it in the 'medium' socio-educational band. The staffing profile includes a Principal, two Assistant Principals, a Disability and Inclusion Coordinator, and two Learning Specialists. The teaching team consists of 33.5 teachers (including Principal Class) and 13.2 Education Support (ES) staff, including three office administration staff and a qualified school nurse. The school operates 25 grades.



Specialist programs offered include Visual Arts, Physical Education, Music, STEAM, Japanese (LOTE), and Kitchen Garden.

All classrooms are equipped with Interactive TVs, and the school maintains a 1:2 student-to-device ratio. iPads are provided for students in Prep to Year 2, while laptops are available for students in Years 2 to 6. This up-to-date infrastructure supports the school's commitment to providing a high-quality, technology-enhanced learning workplace.
