About this school, from public sources
Based on the school's own website and public records, Clifton Creek Primary School is a small rural government primary school in East Gippsland, about 20 minutes from Bairnsdale, established in 1911 and serving a close-knit local community. After the school building was destroyed in the 2019-20 East Gippsland bushfires, it was rebuilt with new facilities including kitchen and sensory gardens and community-use spaces, a project recognised at the 2023 Victorian School Design Awards. The school runs sustainability and student-transition programs and describes itself as a small school with a strong community focus.
