Oatlands Primary School was established in 1996 and serves the residential area of Oatlands and surrounding estates in Narre Warren. We have a student population of over 1,000 students. Our students, staff, parents and the wider community all work together to maintain a clear sense of purpose to develop self-esteem, tolerance and respect for others. By developing a safe, caring and friendly environment, we work to celebrate success and build on student learning at every opportunity. We strive to build on student connectedness to each other, staff and those within the community. Our school's values of Respect, Effort, Kindness, Resilience and Creativity.

Our school is committed to continuous academic achievement in all areas of education with an emphasis on English and Maths. Staff assume a collective responsibility for the learning, personal and social growth of every student. Digital Technologies remain an ongoing focus at Oatlands Primary School. Our Year 4, 5 and 6 students participate in a Bring Your Own Chromebook (BYOC) program, enabling a 1:1 program to take place. Across the school we have sets of Chromebooks in every classroom (Foundation - Year 3). Our Chromebook learning program allows our students to develop the skills and knowledge they require to live and work successfully online and within their community.

Through educational excellence Oatlands develops students who are risk takers and independent learners. Our students are nurturing and socially competent and are able to use their skills to contribute positively to society. All students are encouraged to have pride in their school. Student leadership is a focus at Oatlands and many opportunities are offered to students throughout their education. Our student leaders are confident and cooperative and lead by example.

The students remain our first priority as we strive to nurture a learning environment in which they can grow and develop both socially and academically. Small class sizes, straight grades and a range of social enhancement programs cater for the ongoing enrichment of all students. Our Wellbeing programs include Buddies, The Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships Program and The Cyber Safety Project Program. These programs prepare the students with life skills to assist them when dealing with bullying behaviour (physical, emotional, cyber). We have a full time Educational Psychologist who is able to support and enhance the learning of our students. There is an ongoing commitment to, and encouragement of, parental participation in each student's education.
