About Grimwade House

Melbourne Grammar’s primary school campus – Grimwade House – welcomes around 680 students from Prep to Year 6 each day. It is a joyful and happy place to work. Our wonderful young girls and boys are curious, enthusiastic, respectful and interested in learning. It is a place where students learn in an environment that is purpose-built to challenge and support them to grow, flourish and thrive.

We aim to inspire young people, gently challenging them to explore a myriad of possibilities and opportunities, and guiding them to understand their responsibility to contribute to positive change in our world, wherever their futures lead them.

Grimwade House staff have outstanding opportunities to embrace the broader life of the school, through activities such as the sporting programs, outdoor education, and co-curricular programmes.
