Sale Primary School is based in the town of Sale in Gippsland 200kms east of Melbourne. Known locally as 545, the school was established in 1853 and has occupied its current site adjoining historic Victoria Park near the city centre since 1883. The school continues to draw pupils from the city itself and from outlying areas including the R.A.A.F. Base at East Sale and currently has an enrolment of approximately 465 students.

545 prides itself on being a supportive, friendly and caring school. We have a happy, relaxed community atmosphere that fosters a strong and active partnership between students, staff, parents and the local community. The traditional Maypole Dance, performed each year since 1893 by senior pupils at the annual Garden Party, symbolises the link between our school and the community that has developed over a number of generations. The warm feeling of "belonging to 545" is evident in the children, parents and teachers working cooperatively in the education of our children.

At 545, we place considerable emphasis on ensuring that we are providing a safe and caring environment for everyone involved in our school. All of the school's activities are-developed in consideration of the identified school values of:

Schooling takes place in a combination of old and new buildings including a contemporary open plan-learning centre that supports the learning of 7 classes. Each classroom is equipped with multiple networked laptop computers as well as an interactive TV.



These general-purpose learning spaces are further-supported by specialist learning spaces for art, music, physical education, science, library and AUSLAN programs.

Student wellbeing and engagement has been an area of significant focus for the school, underpinned by a traffic light analogy as follows:

Green light behaviours - positive behaviours that are rewarded

Orange light behaviours - disruptive behaviours that require students to take responsibility for

Red light behaviours - serious breaches in behaviour that require adult intervention and consequences.

Sale Primary School provides a broad curriculum that ensures opportunities and successes for all children within a safe and orderly environment. We promote excellence in learning by providing quality programs that challenge and interest all students, and foster self-esteem, confidence, independence and cooperative skills. Sale Primary School operates 20 classrooms in 2026 consisting of 3 x Foundation, 6 x Junior school classes, 6 x Middle school classes and 5 x Senior school classes.

Our teachers have a strong culture of professional development which is evident in team planning and the use of data to enhance teaching and learning. The school is committed to continual development of all learners within our school, both students and teachers.



We place considerable emphasis on the building of strong, professional relationships and developing the capacity of all teams within our professional learning community. We value the expertise and experience all staff members bring to our school.

The school's teaching staff are organised into Professional Learning Teams (PLTs) aligned to the Victorian Curriculum levels. These PLTs support the teaching team via; team approaches to develop curriculum, yearly overviews, regular team meetings and team professional development sessions. Classroom teachers plan learning programs with teams released simultaneously via the school's specialist timetable.

All students have the opportunity to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities including a swimming program, camps & excursions, band & choir, Perceptual Motor Program, and house sports in cross country, swimming and athletics.
