Buildings and Grounds

Quick Links

The main administration building holds the main office, principal’s office, staffroom, resource room and outside school hours care. The classroom building (known as the BER building), has three classrooms, a library area, meeting room and students’ toilets. The music room is located next to the administration building.

Play Areas

We have extensive play areas, including a large oval, basketball court, a large 36sqm sandpit, play equipment under shade sails and our Land for Wildlife area (see below).

Vegetable Garden and Sensory Garden

Gardening continues to be an integral part of the curriculum. The vegetable garden has been redeveloped and students grow produce and have access to a range of herbs and plants in the sensory garden. We have citrus fruit trees and a composting program.

Land for Wildlife

Buxton Primary is very fortunate to have a ‘Land for Wildlife’ area as part of the school grounds. This area, which includes a range of significant local indigenous plants, has been landscaped to preserve and enhance the natural bush setting. The Land for Wildlife area is an important focus in students’ environmental education and one of their favourite places for imaginative play in a bush setting during the cooler months of the year.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Taungurung people as the first peoples of Buxton and the surrounding areas. The Taungurung have been custodians and caretakers of the land, animals and waters for many thousands of years and continue to perform age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. We also recognise other Indigenous peoples living and working in the Buxton area.

Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships

In response to the Royal Commission into Family Violence, Buxton Primary School is committed to promoting and embedding respectful relationships and gender equality into our school’s curriculum, ethos, vision and values. In our school, the focus is on treating everyone with respect and dignity, developing personal, social and emotional skills and contributing to early intervention through education. We aim to create real and lasting change in the lives of our students, staff, families and the wider school community.
