The Basin Primary School, situated in the City of Knox is located at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges and was established in 1880. Originally a one teacher rural school, its present enrolment is 618 (27 Grades) and has been slowly increasing over the last few years due to an improved socio economic area; our caring, welcoming and supportive culture; our reputation; amazing teachers, excellent Student, Parent and Student survey data over a long time and very good Naplan trend data.

The Basin Primary School is recognised for our focus on the 'whole child¿ balancing the academic, social and personal development of our students. We believe this is best met when parents, their children and the school staff work closely and cooperatively together. Our school aims to provide

- a challenging, comprehensive and relevant curriculum with an emphasis in literacy and numeracy.

In late December 2019 we received $1.8 million grant for the upgrade of our oval and connecting grounds, the senior playground and carpark asphalting.

English and Maths consultants have worked beside our classroom staff each year building the knowledge and teaching strategies of our teachers. At each level Expert teachers work alongside younger staff members as mentors sharing their expertise. A peer coaching program was established where teachers learn from each other.
