Melrose Primary School

Education Melbourne introduces Melrose Primary School in Wodonga, for all your education and learning needs.

Melrose Primary School is one of four “urban” government primary schools located in the rural city of Wodonga, Victoria, 300kms north of Melbourne on the Murray River. The “rural city” of Wodonga has a population of over 35 000 and is a town of industry and significant growth.

Melrose Primary is central and is close to the majority of parks and sporting facilities in the town including the Leisure Centre with gym and indoor pool, hockey centre, shopping centre, public transport, wetlands and playgrounds. The majority of students walk to school or come by private transport. A small number of students travel by bus to school.

At Melrose Primary School children are taught to become masters of their feelings rather than victims. In addition to daily instruction in literacy and numeracy, we also teach students the 5 pillars of emotional intelligence (empathy, self control, self awareness, motivation and managing relationships) in a daily one hour teaching block. Our staff are committed to making a difference for our students by teaching them the skills and behaviours necessary for achieving success in an uncertain and changing future.
