Welcome 

St Gabriel's Primary school has been providing quality Catholic Education in Traralgon since 1980. Originally established under the guidance of the Brigidine Sisters, St Gabriel's retains the Ethos of 'Strength and Gentleness'. 
St Gabriel's popularity over the years has seen two extensions to the school - the most recent in 2000. The school is blessed with extensive and beautiful grounds designed for active play and a unique, vibrant school building where the children's work is extensively displayed.
The highly trained and specialised staff are devoted to providing a broad and up-to-date curriculum which is aimed at developing the whole child. A number of staff provide professional development to other schools both state wide and internationally.
This web site is designed to guide you through the various features of St Gabriel's. You can access such things as the Parents Handbook, Meet the Principal and LOTE. 

Take some time to explore all aspects of St Gabriel's Primary School.

St Gabriel’s Primary School is pleased to welcome you and your children to the school. We look forward to participating with you in the educational growth of your children. The teaching staff is dedicated to ensuring that your children develop academically, spiritually, emotionally, socially, morally and physically during their time at this school. The school has a successful tradition of parish and parent involvement, which has given teachers, parents and children a sense of community. We are proud to share with parents the responsibility and challenge that home and school contributes to your child’s educational journey.

• Gospel values are developed and permeate the total environment giving our children an understanding of the Catholic Faith and doctrine.

• The total development of each child is fostered – spiritually, morally, intellectually emotionally, physically, creatively and socially. Value is placed on the uniqueness of each child and excellence is encouraged from each, according to their ability and potential.

• Staff, in partnership with the wider community, work to maintain a comprehensive curriculum which meets the children’s needs in an ever changing society.

• Students become active participants in the learning process; they are encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions and are provided with a secure, safe and supportive environment.

• St Gabriel’s School encourages all the members of its community to participate in the life of the Parish.

• The school recognises the parents as the prime educators of the children and, as such, St Gabriel’s supports, complements and involves parents in an ongoing partnership.

The school was established in 1980 to serve families living in the new housing estates of  Traralgon West.
The school began with 124 students in four portable classrooms located in the grounds of St Michael’s Primary School in the centre of Traralgon.
In May 1981 the students and staff were relocated to the school’s present site  in Rangeview Drive, Traralgon West.
With the school population in 2000 reaching 450 students, the school community undertook a self-funded building program to create new classrooms, a library and technology centre, and improve existing facilities
