Sandringham Primary School is a primary school in Sandringham, Victoria. It is one of the oldest schools in the state of Victoria, with it being established in 1855.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Sandringham Primary School was founded in 1855, under the name of the "Gipsy Village Church of England School.[2] By 1858, 36 students were enrolled at the school.[2] However, attendance was sporadic, and by 1879 principal Thomas S. Dickson stated that the average school attendance on any given day was less than 20 students.[2] By 1881, the school which consisted of only one building, was deteriorating, and a report found it "not totally suitable for school purposes".[3] Over the next few years, the school attempted to find a new location, which it succeeded in doing in 1885.[3]
2020 Fire
[edit | edit source]In January 2020, the school was partially burnt down by six teenagers.[4] The fire caused students to be temporarily moved to Sandringham College and Sandringham East Primary School while rebuilding was under way.[1] Peter Elliot Architecture was contracted to rebuild the school.[5]
May 2020 dairy ban
[edit | edit source]In May 2020 Sandringham Primary banned dairy products from school grounds, due to a student with a severe allergy to dairy. This decision was criticised by non-profit organisation Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia as an overreaction.[6]
