At Cowes Primary School, we believe every child deserves an excellent education, and we strive to provide a safe, nurturing, and academically rigorous learning environment that helps students to achieve their full potential.

National testing data over recent years has highlighted that our students are performing “higher” than those in like schools across the state. According to NAPLAN 2022 Year 5 assessment results,

Cowes Primary School was the best performing school in the Bass Coast Shire, and second best performing primary school in all of Gippsland. These results illustrate the benefit of our comprehensive curriculum and strong relationships, which have translated to excellent educational outcomes.

One of the key features of our school is our commitment to ensuring our approaches to teaching literacy are supported by the latest research, which is helping all our students make significant gains in their reading skills.

The school has engaged a full-time speech pathologist and learning tutors to help provide our students with the best possible education, and to maximise student learning.

But it's not just academic achievement that sets Cowes Primary School apart.

Our dedicated and caring staff are the heart of our school, working tirelessly to provide pastoral care and support to all students. We believe that the wellbeing of our students is just as important as their academic success, and our staff are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

The school employs a full-time Wellbeing Teacher and a Disability Inclusion Coordinator who provide a range of support services, including individual and group skills training to enhance social skills, confidence, communication and inclusion.

Our highly skilled and experienced teachers go above and beyond to create engaging and challenging learning experiences that inspire our students to be curious, creative, and motivated learners.

At Cowes Primary School, we are proud of our achievements, and we are committed to ongoing improvement and innovation in education.
