Eltham North Primary School

Vicki WARD (Eltham – Minister for Prevention of Family Violence, Minister for Employment) (09:42): Congratulations to Eltham North Primary School on their celebration of a centenary of learning and fun. And what a celebration it was, with a beautiful smoking ceremony and the preps, grade 1s and 2s and school choir treating us to their lovely voices, including an updated rendition of Seven Schools in One, telling the unique history of the school. Eltham North Primary School has seven different settings, with the first school located in Lower Glen Park Road, now known as Lower Road. There were 37 children enrolled. The current site opened in July 1979 with local MP Pauline Toner officially opening the school on 30 November that year. Congratulations to everyone connected with the primary school – students, teachers, staff, parents and helpers. Eltham North Primary is a beautiful school with a wonderful community focused on kindness, respect and learning.
