Epping Views Primary School commenced in 2008. The school is located on a 3.4 hectare site in the Lyndarum Estate, North Epping within the city of Whittlesea. Epping Views Kindergarten is situated opposite the school on the corner of Lyndarum and Mansfield Street. The school also operates an Out of School Hours and Vacation Care Program. Over the last few years enrolments have been decreasing due to the reduction of the school zone, with new schools opening in the local area. The enrolment in 2026 is 570 students operating across 26 classes and comprising straight grades from Foundation to Year Six. The overall socio-economic profile, based on the Student Family Occupation and Education Index (SFOE) in 2026 is in the low-medium band.

The school community encompasses a rich multicultural heritage and a diverse socio-economic population. A large percentage of the school population is from a cultural and language background other than English with 60% of our students speaking a language other than English at home. There are approximately 50 languages spoken by staff, students and families. 1% of our students are from an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background. We provide an Education Support (ES) member in the office to assist our Arabic-speaking community. A number of other staff members assist with translation for languages other than English such as Hindi and Macedonian. The school places a great emphasis on making new staff, students and parents feel settled and a part of our school community. We have a recently established Community Hub to foster positive relationships and involvement from our community and to support families with the achievement, engagement, and wellbeing outcomes of students, specifically our students from refugee backgrounds and diverse language backgrounds and their families. 

Epping Views Primary School is committed to delivering a high-quality teaching and learning program that supports every student to achieve their best. The Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 (VTLM 2.0), supports our focus on implementing explicit teaching aligned with how students learn most effectively.

Our Prep - 2 students participate in daily phonics instruction demonstrating our commitment to evidence-based literacy instruction and building strong foundations in early reading. Explicit teaching in literacy and numeracy is complemented by Investigations which incorporates critical questioning, investigation, application, reflection and evaluation skills developed through investigative play.

All year levels use the Victorian Lesson Plans to teach English and Mathematics to promote consistency across the school. These lessons are designed to 

• activate students’ prior knowledge
• clearly articulate learning objectives
• explain and model new material in small chunks (I do) before supporting student application (we do, you do)
• enable and scaffold at-level learning
• use assessment and feedback to monitor learning progress.

Our specialist programs include Performing Arts, Visual Arts, LOTE-Italian, Physical Education, STEM and Library. Additional programs are delivered in Language Support, Tutoring and Literacy and Numeracy Extension through the Victorian High Ability Program (VHAP).

The school embeds a School Wide Positive Behaviour Support Framework (SWPBS) alongside daily morning meetings to support belonging and engagement and to develop a positive, safe and supportive learning culture. To support this strong focus, the Wellbeing Team includes the Wellbeing Assistant Principal, Disability Inclusion Leading Teacher, Wellbeing Coordinator, Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader and dedicated Wellbeing Education Support Staff.

The buildings and facilities have been designed to allow for maximum utilisation of space. This enables collaborative teaching in common areas as well as specific class spaces and break out areas. Considerable external access allows for outdoor learning, easy and safe access to toilets, appropriate resource storage areas and central resource/library centres to the main teaching areas. Student learning is supported by the structured use of technology including iPads for Junior School students and Chromebooks for students from Years 4 to 6.
