Footscray City Primary School is a Victorian Government school.  We have a proud 143 year history.  The core values of our school are Responsiblity, Kindness and Resilience. We have high expectations of every student and are committed to ensuring they are given the best opportunity to learn and succeed in an inspiring and respectful environment.

​The school has a focus on literacy and numeracy skills, and ensuring resources are of the highest quality. This has significantly improved students’ fundamental skills, those necessary to provide further educational opportunities beyond primary school. In addition to lifting academic performance, Footscray City Primary School also remains committed to providing students with an array of extra-curricular activities across sports, art and music.  These are equally important ways students can develop and share their talents and succeed as individuals or as a team.
