The school was established in 1889 during the gold mining days and has a present enrolment of about 240 students. With Nillumbik generally an aging area, student enrolments are likely to remain stable or decrease slightly in future.
Eltham is our nearest suburb towards the city, with Kangaroo Ground just beyond Research. The school is small enough to create a caring family atmosphere, yet has a sufficiently large student enrolment to enable us to offer a wide range of specialist programs.
Our Vision
Research Primary School excites, engages and empowers our students.
