Welcome to Macarthur Street Primary School

On behalf of the Macarthur Street Primary School Community, I warmly welcome you to our website. I extend an invitation to you to visit our school and enjoy a tour of the well-equipped and spacious classrooms and facilities that we have to offer.

Macarthur Street Primary School has a proud history. Our school motto ‘Where the Past and Future Meet’ reflects our recognition of the significant contributions the school has made to the education of children in Ballarat and also to the up to date and innovative teaching and learning experiences that happen on a daily basis.

The partnership between home, school and community is actively practised and encouraged to enable the academic and social potential of every child to be realised; the well being of all to be nurtured.

Please make an appointment to visit our great school. It will be my pleasure to take you on a guided tour and share with you the opportunities our school has to offer.

Coles 'Sport for Schools' Program

The Coles 'Sports for Schools' program is back again this year. The program gives schools the opportunity to earn sports gear just by collecting vouchers from Coles. Through this program, Coles has supplied over $20 million worth of sports gear to over 7,500 schools across the country.

How does it work?

Step 1: For every $10 spent at Coles, customers will receive one Sports for Schools voucher.

Step 2: Bring the vouchers to school and place them in the collection box near the office

Step 3: Every voucher received will go towards our school's tally. We will then be able to order the sports equipment our school needs to the value of the vouchers.

Be sure to let your family and friends know that we are collecting, as every voucher counts!
