Creswick North Primary School is situated on the northern fringe of Creswick. The school playing grounds and surrounds provide students with a physically attractive environment. The local community values the attributes of a small country school and the strong relationships that the children develop between themselves and staff. Parental participation in school activities and programs is encouraged and highly valued. The school also aims to promote in children acceptance of responsibility and positive attitudes towards themselves, others, their learning, the school and the local community.
The school provides a comprehension curriculum, with specialist areas in Mobile Area Resource Centre (MARC Van), Physical Education, Respectful Relationships, Health, The Arts, Japanese (via Video-Conference) and Sustainability. Community activities are an integral part of the curriculum through festivals, community projects and environmental activities. Many extra curricula activities support classroom programs such as mountain biking, fishing, sporting clinics, excursions and a camping program.

School Networks
Creswick North Primary School works very closely with a range of other local primary and secondary schools in
order to improve the educational opportunities of the children. We combine with other schools to allow the
children to take in a range of cultural, leadership, sporting and academic activities that are not feasible without a
larger number of children. These are regarded as normal school days and children are expected to participate
in them. These days also foster social links that carry through to secondary school.
