Cardinia Primary School has 32 staff including two Principal class, 14 full-time teachers, four part-time teachers and 9 Education Support staff. The School is very conscious of maintaining its rural school ethos and valuing its motto of being a 'Caring Family School¿, both of which are highly attractive to families wishing to enrol their children at the school. We have a focus on Literacy and Numeracy, with all lessons designed using the Cardinia Primary School Instructional Model. Specialist teaching areas include Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Science and Auslan (LOTE).
