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 Lyndrum 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 2024 was 804 students operating across 34 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 2024 was low-medium. 

The school community encompasses a rich multicultural heritage and a diverse socio-economic population. A large percentage of the school population in 2024 was from a cultural and language background other than English, 59.67% of our students speaking a language other than English at home. There were approximately 46 languages spoken by staff, students and families in 2024. 1% of our students are from an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background. We continued to 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. In 2024, we partnered with the Refugee Education in Schools Project to identify and implement strategies to have a positive impact on the achievement, engagement, and wellbeing outcomes of students, specifically our 36 students from refugee backgrounds and their families.

All year levels are supported by Education Support Staff. The leadership structure consisted of the Principal, Assistant Principals overseeing the areas of Curriculum - Literacy and Numeracy, Wellbeing and Student Voice and Agency. This model was supported by Learning Specialists at each year level and Leading Teachers.

The school has a strong focus on Literacy, Numeracy and Inquiry curriculum.  The Inquiry curriculum develops student’s metacognitive processes, enhanced through critical questioning, investigation, application, reflection, and evaluation. Our Foundation to Year 2 students participate in Investigations to engage deeply to gain the  understanding that Literacy, Numeracy and the Humanities are meaningful and useful parts of everyday life. Students explore, create, make meaning, connections and memories and also engage in authentic opportunities to learn personal and social skills, conflict resolution, problem solving, decision making and develop their independence.  Our specialist programs focused on Performing Arts, Visual Arts, LOTE-Italian, Physical Education, STEM and Library. Additional programs were delivered in Language Support, Tutoring and  Literacy and Numeracy Extension, including the Victorian High Ability Program

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 Leader 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 co-operative 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. Students in Year 4-6 have the opportunity to participate in a 1:1 device program and school devices including ipads are available to students in P-3.
