School Overview

A Thriving Learning Community with Modern Facilities and Strong Values

Situated in the outer eastern suburb of Ferntree Gully with a current enrolment of approximately 400, we offer an ideal educational setting. We are proud of our spacious grounds and contemporary learning spaces – including dedicated Library, Digital Technologies Centre, Art room, Music room and Gymnasium.

The extensive grounds and gardens including netball/basketball court, volleyball court, separate junior and senior playground equipment, artificial turf and a vast grassed oval, provides a wide variety of passive and active play areas.
Members of the school community enjoy the convenience of having access to Out of School Hours Care facilities and an online School Canteen operating four days per week offering healthy options for lunches. Qualified First Aid care is provided all day.

A safe and caring school culture is created and sustained by the students, teachers and whole school community through the Tribes Agreements: Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciation, Right to Pass and Aim High. This, coupled with the Respectful Relationships Program and the Resilience Project provides the basis for daily life at school. Families are invited into the school environment where we encourage attendance to parent/carer
Student, staff and family surveys confirm a deep satisfaction with Mountain Gate Primary School. The culture of a learning community is fostered through educational programs that cater for a range of abilities physically, emotionally, socially and cognitively to ensure our students flourish. The performance data confirms that high standards are achieved in all areas.
