Bundalaguah Primary School is a small rural school situated midway between 2 larger centres of Sale and Maffra.  It was opened in 1872 and the historic building, which is still in use, is a significant feature of the school.  Bundalaguah Primary School has very spacious, well maintained grounds and is set in the scenic Maffra irrigation district surrounded by dairy and beef farms.

 Bundalaguah staff and School Council maintain a commitment to ensuring that small class sizes are a feature of our school. 

Vision - Bundalaguah primary School's vision is to empower all students to become life-long learners and to strive always to reach their full potential.

Bundalaguah Primary School follows the Victorian curriculum and has a priority focus on Literacy and Maths and is enhanced by a variety of programs.

Bundalaguah is a Respectful Relationship school and our weekly program incorporates lessons to promote social and emotional learning, inclusiveness and acceptance.   Bundalaguah is a School Wide Positive Behaviours environment and staff promote desired behaviours through acknowledging positive actions and choices.

Bundalaguah is an active participant of the Sale Rural School's Cluster which includes 5 other small schools. Our staff work collaboratively together for the best interests of all the children in our cluster. 

Students from the Cluster Schools are given opportunities to interact regularly which is considered an important aspect of transition especially for senior students.  Cluster children join together for camps, sports, leadership conferences and Group Days.
