Deans Marsh is a wonderful place with unique nature and wild life. Our school wishes to acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Gadubanud people. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and future.

Deans Marsh Primary School is a small rural school in the foothills of the Otways with a current enrolment of 57 students over 4 classes. A school bus service provides transport for the majority of children at the school.

Being a small school, each classroom is a multi-age learning setting with an emphasis on personalized learning. The key areas our classroom teachers teach are Reading, Phonics, Writing, Mathematics, Inquiry Learning, STEM, and Wellbeing. The school is committed to providing a stimulating learning environment that nurtures independent learners. Positive self-esteem is fostered in a supportive classroom environment and the use of Restorative Practices, the Resilience Project, and Respectful Relationships provides a whole school approach to welfare. The school values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience underpin all that we say and do at Deans Marsh Primary School.

Deans Marsh Primary School is a community school that fosters strong links with the families of our students. We are always excited to welcome new staff to our unique school.

We have previously taught Indonesian as our LOTE subject and are seeking a new LOTE specialist teacher for a day per week. We are open to a change in language if the right candidate is available.

At Deans Marsh Primary School, we live and learn in the country and thrive in nature whilst finding happiness and pride when achieving something challenging.
