Grounds & Facilities

Billanook Primary School has attractive air conditioned classrooms situated in a beautiful natural environment. The school is well equipped with an Art Room, Learning Enrichment Centre, Hall, Performing Arts room and Multipurpose Building, providing a full size indoor basketball court and community kitchen facilities.

The grounds are well maintained and students are actively involved in planting and caring for the environment. Tending a vegetable patch, gardening and utilising composting, supports our Kitchen Garden program. As an accredited Sustainable School we actively support an awareness of environmental issues and management strategies for waste, water, energy and biodiversity. We promote walking to school, reducing energy consumption, recycling, rubbish free lunches and utilise tank water for all student toilet flushing. This program is supported by an environmental policy, curriculum implementation and ‘Green Teams’ of both staff and student leaders.

As well as an astro turf fitness track, we have several all-weather playing surfaces. An oval, basketball courts, playgrounds, shaded sandpit, outdoor chess tables, shaded seating areas, art installations, fitness stations, minor games asphalt areas and natural gully provide an attractive school environment for learning and student wellbeing.

Billanook was fortunate to receive a significant building grant from the Victorian State Government in late 2020.  After much consultation, we are soon to receive handover of our new building which includes 7 general classrooms, a kitchen garden cooking facility, a science and technology room, new Art Room along and significant landscaping.  Expected date of completion is May/June 2024.
