Welcome to Kallista Primary School

Kallista Primary School is a vibrant community school nestled in the beautiful Sherbrooke Forest, Dandenong Ranges.

COMPASS

Compass & Qkr!™

As a part of our commitment to reducing paper waste throughout our school, and improving communication between home and school, Kallista Primary uses two apps – Compass and Qkr!™.

Qkr!™ provides a secure payment gateway for school payments. Easily pay for excursions, school contributions, even sushi lunch orders directly from your phone.

We encourage all school families to use the apps where possible, as they greatly reduce the workload of our teaching and administration staff.

Check what Parents say about us

We have been at Kallista Primary School coming into our third year now, since prep. We chose this school because of its smaller community and forest landscape, the teachers know all of the children's and parents names and visa versa. The schools approach to natural and individual learning to each child is what I love most. We come earlier everyday for drop off and pick up just to be around the people there, always talking to each other, it feels like a big friendship group

Parent Parent

KPS has been part of our family for nearly 15 years as our children have gone through their primary school journey. Many schools talk about 'community' and 'care' - KPS lives these words in practical, meaningful and long-lasting ways. The respect for individual gifts and differences, the focus on consideration and value of others and the appreciation of the natural world which was re-enforced by staff and the community has served our children well as they make their way in the world. We are thankful to have had this school and its excellent teachers in our lives.

I have so many fond memories of my time at Kallista Primary. The supportive teachers and hands-on learning really helped shape who I am today. It’s a wonderful school that truly cares about its students.
