Tyabb Primary School is situated on the Mornington Peninsula, in a welcoming, attractive and semi-rural environment. The school draws its enrolments from Tyabb, Somerville, Hastings, Moorooduc and further afield due to a strong reputation for being a school that reinforces strong values, provides outstanding educational programs and provides high quality teaching. This has resulted in a steady pattern of growth and healthy prep enrolments each year. The school's current enrolment is approximately 427 students. In 2025 we have18 classes with 5 specialist areas - Art, Physical Education, Science, Music, LOTE and an electives program for our senior students. Extra curricula activities include Instrumental Music Lessons, HPV Energy Challenge, Camps, Water Safety, Concert and Green Team. We have a strong community focus and actively build relationships with our community members.

Tyabb Primary School is firmly committed to meeting the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of all children. Our vision is that ¿All students are empowered to learn and achieve their personal best through high quality teaching and the best environment for learning which equip them with the knowledge, skills, values and positive mindset to become active, engaged and productive members of the local and global community.¿

As stated in our Mission Statement, we aim to ensure that all students:

- learn the necessary skills and attitudes to become productive, caring, thinking individuals,
- develop as adaptable and resilient individuals who respect themselves, others and the environment
- become lifelong learners and
- strive for excellence.

We will provide a safe, positive and stimulating environment where parents, teachers, students and the wider community work cooperatively to ensure:

- an engaging and challenging curriculum,
- exceptional teaching and
- high standard resources.

To achieve this we place enormous emphasis on each child¿s personal development as well as their academic achievement. The 'You Can Do It¿ keys to success of persistence, confidence, resilience, organisation and getting along are taught and encouraged throughout the school along with our shared values - Respect, Responsibility, Safety, Optimism and Integrity.
Our motto is ¿From little things, big things grow¿. This represents what we aim to achieve in our school. It has obvious connections with our oak tree emblem and demonstrates a commitment to advance the academic and personal development of our students providing opportunities to achieve ¿big things¿ from their first small beginnings in grade prep.
