About this school, from public sources
Public online sources describe Cowwarr Primary School as a small rural government school in Gippsland, Victoria, serving prep to year 6 since 1877. The school promotes a family atmosphere where children of all ages learn and play together, guided by the motto "We strive to do our best." It is part of the Sale Rural Cluster, sharing programs and resources with six nearby small schools, and offers out-of-school-hours care. After a 2020 fire destroyed the original building, a new facility was built by the Victorian education department.
