Clyde PS was established on its current site in 1910, and is located in the growing community of Clyde in the City of Casey. The school is 5 kilometres east of Cranbourne and 10 kilometres south of Berwick. Clyde Primary School is growing quickly with continued substantial growth expected over the next few years.

The school facilities are being re-developed and modernised from 2021. Works include 11 new general learning areas, specialist art, STEM and music areas as well as a full-size gymnasium with a competition-grade basketball court and additional play spaces for our students. There will also be refurbishment to our school’s existing buildings to provide a new library and staff work areas.

We have a fantastic school community with a highly valued home-school partnership and involved parent community.

I hope you will feel as proud as I do to belong to our school community,
