Join Coburn Primary School - A Place Where Students and Staff Thrive

At Coburn Primary School, we believe that wellbeing is the foundation for achievement. Our staff work together in a caring, collaborative environment where every child's social, emotional and academic growth is nurtured.

Set in an established garden setting in Melton South, beside the Blackwood Reserve, Coburn offers a calm environment for 586 students. Our wellbeing hub, the `World of Wonder', SWPBS focus, breakfast club, emotional learning plans and restorative practices we ensure students feel safe, supported and ready to learn.

When our students are Happy, Relaxed and Engaged the outcomes follow.  

We are exceptionally well resourced with our outdoor play spaces across the school, a STEM and Performing Arts hub, wet and dry Art rooms, a modern Gymnasium and a newly built dedicated wellbeing hub for allied health services that support the school and families.

With one-to-one iPads, our specialist programs consists of STEM, Arts, Physical Education and Auslan. We also adopt strong instructional coaching across curriculum portfolios. We are a school that invests in both staff and student growth. Our Professional Learning Communities use data and evidence based practice to drive excellence across all areas.

Our values - Respect, Responsibility, Cooperation and Excellence - shape a culture of kindness and high expectations from all stakeholders. If you want to be part of a team where the new principal has a glass half full attitude, has been awarded GOLD in SWPBS for the past 4 year and ensures that she puts people before programs and wellbeing at the heart of learning, Coburn is the place for you!
