About Us

Our school grounds back onto native bushland and have views of the ocean from almost all buildings. Most students that attend our school live locally with many walking or riding their bikes to school. Marlo Primary has developed close ties to the local community, and enjoys support from our local shops and community services. 

Marlo Primary School is a member of the Snowy River Education Community (SREC) alongside Orbost Primary, Orbost North Primary, Newmerella Primary School and Orbost Secondary. These schools work together to share resources and programs to enhance student learning outcomes. There are a number of joint camps and excursions each year that provide excellent opportunities for all students. 

There is a very strong and supportive community behind the school at Marlo who have high expectations of the school and of their children. The small class sizes and individual attention that Marlo Primary School provides is highly valued by parents who have high expectations for their childrens’ education.  

The school has a beautiful play area, playground structure, an undercover area, a vegetable garden and outdoor Indigenous classroom and is close to community facilities and natural areas including tennis courts and the Snowy River.  

We strive to provide a nurturing and challenging environment that empowers students to reach their personal best, both academically and socially.
