About this school, from public sources
Publicly available information describes Chum Creek Primary School as a small, rural government primary school in Victoria's Yarra Ranges, serving Prep to Year 6 students from the Chum Creek, Toolangi and Healesville West communities. The school has a long local history dating back to the 1890s and is noted for a friendly, low-key approach to education with a strong focus on environmental education and sustainable living, supported by a low student-to-teacher ratio typical of small rural schools.
