Derrimut Primary School is a Victorian government primary school located in Derrimut, Victoria, Australia, operated by the Victorian Department of Education. It provides primary education from Foundation (Preparatory) through Year 6 to families residing within its designated school zone.

The school's technology stack consists of consumer-facing third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems.

Before and after school care is delivered in partnership with YMCA through the oshc.ymca.org.au platform. Communication with current and prospective families occurs via the school website, Facebook page, and digital newsletters.

As a public government school, Derrimut Primary School is funded by the Department of Education Victoria and does not charge tuition fees to in-zone students. Financial assistance programs such as the Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund are available for eligible families. The school operates within a designated geographic catchment managed through findmyschool.vic.gov.au, with in-zone students guaranteed placement. Revenue, headcount, and financial details are not publicly disclosed, consistent with its status as a state education entity rather than a commercial enterprise.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• Only About Children: Australian integrated early learning and primary school operator combining early childhood education with before/after-school care. Directly comparable in offering a wraparound education-and-care proposition to working families, and active in the same Melbourne growth corridors.
• Footscray Primary School: Another Victorian government primary school operating under the same Department of Education framework. Directly comparable in funding model, curriculum structure, and enrolment governance, and explicitly referenced in Derrimut's own digital assets.

Others

• YMCA Victoria: Community-services organisation providing the Out-of-School-Hours Care (OSHC) service at Derrimut Primary School and many other Victorian schools. Comparable as the embedded wraparound-care delivery partner and as a competitor for the same families' before/after-school care spend.
• Compass School Manager: SaaS school management platform vendor used by Derrimut Primary School and a large share of Victorian government schools. Comparable as the underlying technology layer that enables the school's parent engagement, communication, and student-information workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Affinity Education Group: Large Australian operator of early learning and childcare centres under multiple brands. Comparable in serving government-subsidised families in growth-area suburbs, though focused on the early-years segment and operating a private, multi-site model.
• Goodstart Early Learning: Australia's largest not-for-profit early childhood education and care provider, serving a comparable demographic of working families across growth-corridor suburbs. Comparable in mission, family-facing service model, and reliance on government-funded subsidies, though operating in the prior early-years segment rather than primary schooling.
• G8 Education Limited: ASX-listed operator of early learning, primary, and secondary education centres across Australia and Singapore. Comparable as a scaled Australian education services business serving similar family demographics, but operates a for-profit, multi-site model versus Derrimut's single-site government structure.
