Kongwak Primary School offers a welcoming, connected and nurturing learning environment set within a peaceful bushland setting that invites children to feel safe, calm and ready to learn. Located just 14 kilometres inland from Inverloch, and within 20km easy reach of Wonthaggi (16km), Korumburra(13km) and Leongatha (20km), the school provides the best of both worlds: a close-knit country school experience with access to the opportunities of larger neighbouring communities.

 

With small class sizes and an intimate setting, every child at Kongwak Primary School is truly known, valued and supported. Strong relationships between students, staff and families create a sense of belonging where confidence, wellbeing and learning thrive. While small in size, the school delivers a high-quality curriculum using evidence-based teaching practices, supported by well-resourced learning spaces, modern technology, a multipurpose room, greenhouse, vegetable garden and sporting equipment.

 

Through a close partnership with Inverloch Primary School, Kongwak students benefit from visiting specialist teachers for PE, Music, Art and AUSLAN. Students also enjoy a visit from the Mobile Area Resource Centre (MARC) for their weekly library experience. Another unique feature of Kongwak is the SUSWAK program where students enjoy learning about sustainability, science and the environment they live in.   The  unique connection to Inverloch PS provides carefully scaffolded opportunities to participate in camps, sporting carnivals, music theatre productions, excursions and swimming programs. This connection ensures students experience the richness of a broader school community while remaining grounded in the care, calm and connection of their local school.
