Eppalock Primary School is set in attractive, well-maintained, spacious grounds in the rural community of Axe Creek, just 7 kms East of Strathfieldsaye. The area caters to families who look upon the unique features of a rural school as part of their life style choice.  The school features a covered basketball court, sandpit and outdoor decked stage playspace, a parent constructed garden area and an outdoor cooking/firepit space. 

The school has 3 multi-age classrooms with an average enrolment of 50-60 students each year.

Three full time classroom teachers enable the classroom student sizes to be kept small, enabling more focused and individual instruction at point of need.  We currently have a P/1 class, a 2/3/4 class and 4/5/6 class.

The school offers a comprehensive curriculum with Literacy and Numeracy being priority areas.  Science, Technology, the Environment and the Arts have a strong focus in our school with many different activities planned around these areas each term.  STEM, Living Green, Art and Music have a specialist teacher..

The school has an active parent community who organise community events each term. Local community members and past school families are welcome to attend.
