Glen Katherine Primary School is located in Eltham North, a north-eastern, leafy suburb of Melbourne. It is a relatively new school being just over twenty-three years old. Children are drawn from Eltham, Eltham North, Diamond Creek and Greensborough as well as Plenty, Yarrambat and Hurstbridge. Strong links with the local kindergartens and St. Helena S.C. ensure a smooth transition process into and beyond GKPS.
The school's 2012 enrolment is 577 students organised into 24 grades with class sizes in the P-2 area in the low 20's and mid-20's range from 3-6.
Glen Katherine Primary School Council and staff are committed to offering equality of opportunity to all members of the school community. We aim to create an environment in which all members of the school can work together in a co-operative manner, develop a sense of unity, experience enjoyment and success and to ensure all children achieve to their full potential.
We provide the best opportunities for successful lifelong learning. Children are empowered to take increasing responsibility for learning and decision-making. Children, teachers and parents are proud to form a partnership for the future.
