The Bacchus Marsh Primary School was here before the gold rush, even before Victoria itself. Possibly the first government school in Victoria, it was initially located along the Lerderderg River, in what is now the Avenue of Honour.

Bacchus Marsh Primary School is a school with a proud history. It is also acknowledged as a high performing school with a strong emphasis on supporting students to achieve their potential.

Our vision is to develop self sustaining, lifelong learners in a recognised centre of educational excellence.
