Welcome to Dunkeld Consolidated School

Welcome to Dunkeld Consolidated School, a proud small rural school located in the heart of the Southern Grampians - a small school with a big heart.

At Dunkeld Consolidated School, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, supported and inspired to achieve their very best. Our school is a welcoming and inclusive community where strong relationships between students, staff, families and the broader community are at the heart of everything we do.

Our vision is to provide a safe, engaging and supportive environment that enables students to always be their best as respectful and resilient members of the community. This is reflected in our school values of Respect, Resilience and Achievement, which guide the way we learn, work and grow together.

As a small school, we are fortunate to know every student as an individual. We celebrate their strengths, support their challenges and provide opportunities for them to develop confidence, independence and a genuine love of learning. Our students are encouraged to have a voice in their school and community, take on leadership opportunities and contribute to making Dunkeld Consolidated School a great place to learn.

We are proud of our strong academic outcomes, dedicated and experienced staff, broad curriculum and the many opportunities available to our students, both inside and outside the classroom. From Auslan and specialist learning experiences to sport, wellbeing, student leadership and our connections with the local community, we strive to provide a rich and engaging education for every child.

Our school is also deeply connected to the Dunkeld community. We value the support, knowledge and contribution of our families, School Council and local community organisations, recognising that educating children is a shared responsibility.

Above all, we want our students to leave Dunkeld Consolidated School as confident, capable and compassionate young people who are ready to take their next steps in life.

At Dunkeld Consolidated School, we strive to live by our motto, Optima Semper — doing our best, always.

We invite you to explore our website and discover more about our school, our students and our community. We look forward to welcoming you to Dunkeld Consolidated School.
