About Us
Nestled on the south-eastern coast of Phillip Island, Newhaven Primary School is situated in the beautiful seaside village of Newhaven. Located just across the bridge from the mainland town of San Remo, the school enjoys a peaceful and scenic environment that reflects the welcoming nature of our community.
Founded in 1892, Newhaven Primary School is a Victorian Government school providing education for students from Prep to Grade 6. Rebuilt in 2000, the school features modern facilities including a large hall, small hall, seven classrooms, a dedicated Science and Art room, library, and administration buildings.
Our students benefit from a range of indoor and outdoor learning spaces, including our own oval and access to the neighbouring Newhaven Reserve. Additional facilities include two playgrounds, a Covered Outdoor Learning Space, a Bike Education Course, a walking track with exercise stations around the oval, and a bike shed.

Newhaven Primary School is proud of its achievements in student learning
In 2026, we have 178 students across eight classrooms, including one straight Prep class, three Grade 1/2 classes, two Grade 3/4 classes, and two Grade 5/6 classes. This class structure is reviewed annually to ensure the best possible organisation and balance based on student enrolments.
Curriculum
Our teachers are fully qualified primary educators with training in Australia’s leading program for Early Years literacy and numeracy. This program continues through to Grade 4. Continuity is assured and statewide testing will provide you with information as to your child’s performance compared to other children in the state. The middle years literacy and numeracy programs commence in Grade 5 to prepare your child for secondary college.
Early intervention programs in reading and mathematics support students with learning difficulties.
Co Curricula Programs
These programs significantly add to the memories that children retain when they look back on their primary years.
Student Participation & Leadership
We have a number of programs that allow children to develop a sense of community responsibility.
Student Welfare
Ensuring your child is happy and safe at school is important to parents, students and our staff.
