Donburn Primary School is located in the north east quadrant of the intersection of Doncaster and Blackburn Roads in the City of Manningham. The School's name reflects its geographical position. The current student population is approximately 260 and is expected to increase over the next three to five years.

Gardens and playgrounds combine with strategically placed buildings to provide a particularly healthy and attractive school setting.

Outdoor sports facilities include 5 play equipment stations catering for progressive development, extensive well maintained asphalted areas including two basketball courts and several bat tennis courts and rebound wall. A highlight of our grounds is a large multi-purpose sports oval and running track with fitness stations. Attractive gardens have been designed with the purpose of providing a balance of open space and shaded areas.

There are currently twelve classrooms. This accommodation is supplemented by the Library, an Art room and a separate multi purpose hall.

The school encourages an ‘open door’ approach where parent and community contribution and participation are valued. The wider school community gives consistent and generous support to the school’s programs and resource provision. Staff and parents place the provision of resources as a high priority towards improving student outcomes. The premise that educational experiences are enhanced by close cooperation between home and school is supported and emphasised. Regular parent education and information sessions are held.

The School Council, principal, staff and parents have developed structures to encourage teamwork and cooperation which foster the growth of trust and community respect. The staff team is characterised by commitment, enthusiasm, creativity, success, hard work and a professional approach to the long term provision of quality educational programs. The school seeks to build its profile in the community to increase enrolments and also to give students greater pride in and desire to achieve the highest standards for themselves and the school. The school enjoys positive relationships with local preschools, primary schools and secondary colleges.
