Herdsmans Cove Primary School has 19 teaching staff and caters for 240 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school's address is 2 Lamprill Circle GAGEBROOK 7030. Phone (03) 6263 7843.

Schools receive an annual resource package for the purpose of providing educational programs for students throughout that year. Schools may also receive other funding from the Department as well as receiving income from other sources. Generally, like the resource package, these funds should be used in the year that they are received. However, in some circumstances, schools may need to carry funds over from one year to the next. A reasonable carry over is 25% of a school's annual resourcing package. As at January 31 2009, Herdsmans Cove Primary School has carried over the equivalent of 63% of its annual resourcing package. Schools also receive additional funding to help reduce early years class sizes. The average class size at Herdsmans Cove Primary School for groups containing Prep and Year 1 students is 22.

Information about Herdsmans Cove Primary School (provided by the school)
Herdsmans Cove Primary School provides a happy, friendly, supportive environment in which programs focused around thinking and learning how to learn maximize opportunities for all students to reach their full potential. Student leadership, relevant curriculum, engaging learning environments and smaller than average class sizes combine to build capacity for students to prepare for the future. Our school manages learning programs for students from birth to grade six and involves families in partnership in all aspects. At Herdsmans Cove Primary School we strongly value parent and carer support in order to enhance student learning outcomes. Rich teaching and learning opportunities in the areas of Literacy and Numeracy form the foundation for learning in all other areas. Our aim is for strong foundations in these areas in preparedness for lifelong learning and success.
