Harrisfield Primary School is a South Eastern suburban primary school that was established in 1955. A wide diversity of cultures, socio-economic groups and languages characterise the school community. The school has a current enrolment of 250 with a staff of 18 teachers, one Business Manager, five Integration Aides, a Health and Well-being Officer and a Chaplain.
The vast majority of students live in the local area but the community is constantly changing due to the transience of the population, public housing and a general movement from this area to the growth corridor suburbs beyond Dandenong. We find that we have higher numbers enrolled across the Prep-3 area of the school but many students transfer at the end of year 3 as their parents acquire permanent residency and become more established enabling them to purchase homes in other more affordable suburbs.
The diverse cultural and ethnic nature of the community presents special needs that are addressed by the staff during planning sessions and when reporting or evaluating programs and achievements. The majority of students were born in Australia but a high proportion have parents who were born overseas, and many of these students speak a language other than English at home.
The school has two purpose built Learning Ho
