Mooroolbark East Primary School established in 1972, 40 years ago and is situated in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The school consisted of 50 students and 3 teachers. At the time, we had no specialists. The first building was our junior building. It contained a staff room, a computer lab, one classroom and the reception area. Now in 2012 we have 3 buildings, 484 students, 31 teachers and 21 grades. In 2013 we are going to have 22 grades. One of our Grade 3 teachers has worked here for 36 years and our previous library teacher met his wife at our school. They got married at our school on the basketball court and now have 3 kids and still teach at our school. This year as 2012, we celebrate our 40th anniversary.
We have camps and a program called moo stars (Mooroolbark Stars). For moo stars your teacher chooses two students from your class if she/he thinks you have a special talent. During class time, you can do a class with others students that have the same talent as you. Some excursions we have attended include, Phillip Island (camp), Ski trip, Surf trip, The Amazing race (Melbourne City), Snowy River (camp), Melbourne Zoo, Big Day- Night out… just to name a few.
We uphold a great community spirit and pride ourselves on academic achievements and student, teacher and parent relationships.
