Eppalock Primary School is set in attractive, well maintained, spacious grounds in the rural community of Axe Creek, just 17 kms east of Bendigo. The area caters for families who look upon the unique features of a rural school as part of their lifestyle choice.
The school is highly regarded because of its child-centred approach to learning, its focus on students accepting responsibility for their progress, the development of self-discipline and the pursuit of excellence in a caring and nurturing environment.
Students are in three small multi-age groups supported by dedicated teachers and strong family involvement. Indonesian is taught from Prep to Grade 6 and children benefit from specialist areas of Drama and MARC library van. Reading Recovery is provided for Grade 1 students in need of this very powerful one to one program. Children take part in Physical Education each morning and take part in a sport session one afternoon per week. We also take part in Cluster athletics sports with Axedale and Tooborac Primary Schools and the P-2 students take part in a PMP( Perceptual Motor Program) on a regular basis.
