Overview

Outram School is a full Year 1 to Year 8, Primary School. We have a roll of approximately 185 students. The school has a wide catchment across the Taieri Plain. Students come from the Outram Village and beyond. Two bus routes bring students from the Maungatua Rd/Berwick area and from the Momona area. Henley and Allanton are within the school zone but are not served by a bus.

This year, we have eight classrooms organised into two learning teams, Junior and Senior.

The school is set in pleasant surroundings with well-established trees, gardens and playing areas. The school is well-resourced. Facilities include a school pool, the Allen Centre Library and Vision space, School Hall and Workshop, After School Care facilities and Mechanics Shed.
