Kingsville Primary School
Local Hearts – Global Values
Welcome to Kingsville Primary School — a warm, curious, and community-driven school in the heart of Yarraville. We’re proud to be the only IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) accredited school in Melbourne’s inner west.
Our point of difference
The only IB Primary Years Programme school in Melbourne's inner west.
The International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB-PYP) is a world-class approach to learning that goes well beyond the classroom. It develops children who are curious, caring, open-minded, and ready to think for themselves.
At Kingsville, the PYP shapes everything — how we teach, how we learn, and how we treat each other. It means your child doesn’t just learn facts; they learn how to ask good questions, collaborate with others, and understand the world around them.
Who we are
A school built on trust, warmth and genuine partnership.
At Kingsville, we believe the best outcomes happen when students, families, teachers and staff work together — honestly and openly. Our school is shaped by our community, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We’re a school of 450 students with big values: we nurture active learners, celebrate curiosity, and build the kind of global citizens who make the world a little better.
Our community
A school where everyone has a part to play.
It’s a community. We believe the authentic contribution of every student, family and staff member makes us stronger. That’s not just something we say; it’s something we build into every decision we make.
Our approach is simple: warmth, openness, honesty and transparency. We want every family to feel seen, heard and genuinely welcomed.
We actively involve families in school life, because great outcomes happen when we work together.
Our teachers and education support team are here because they genuinely love what they do.
Every child deserves to feel safe, valued and excited to learn. That's our promise.

Why Kingsville PS
A place where every child is known, valued and challenged.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes. We know that. At Kingsville we want you to feel confident that your child will be safe, stretched, and genuinely cared for from day one.
Our teachers and education support team are passionate, skilled, and genuinely invested in every student. We're not just colleagues — we're a team.
Every child deserves to feel safe before they can learn. We put student wellbeing at the centre of every decision we make.
We believe in warmth, honesty and real conversations. Whether it's great news or a challenge, we'll always be straight with you.
What shapes everything we do.
At the heart of everything we do.
We believe students learn best when they have agency. Choice is woven into how we teach, how we plan, and how we support every child's individual journey.
Every student deserves to be heard. We actively create space for student voice — in the classroom, in school decisions, and in our wider community.
When students take ownership of their learning, something special happens. We nurture that sense of responsibility and pride from their very first day.
