Gilmore Primary School is located in the suburb of Gilmore in the Tuggeranong region of the ACT. Established in 1987, the school has evolved alongside its community and, while enrolments have declined as the suburb has matured, it continues to thrive as a small school with robust community connections and a supportive, inclusive culture.

Learning programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework in Preschool and the Australian Curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 6, maintaining high expectations across all aspects of school life. These expectations are reflected in the school's strategic priorities, which focus on enhancing school culture, learning environments and wellbeing outcomes for students, staff and families. The school's educational approach reflects a strong commitment to social justice, sustainability and inclusive practices.

Gilmore Primary School works collaboratively with public schools across the Tuggeranong region, providing students with opportunities to build relationships beyond their immediate school community and participate in a range of shared learning experiences. The school also partners with community organisations to offer enrichment programs that support students' social, emotional and personal development.

A key strength of Gilmore Primary School is its active and engaged community. Strong partnerships between families, staff and students contribute to a welcoming and supportive environment where every child is known, valued and supported to succeed.
