Nestled within extensive native gardens, Ararat North is a modern, open-planned school located in the northern area of Ararat.  The school serves a number of families within the township and from outlying areas to the north and east of the city.
​
Our school’s buildings provide a stimulating learning setting. The main school structure is an attractive, open-plan design, comprising four learning areas surrounding a large central library and an open art room. The school also has outstanding kitchen facilities, a multi purpose hall and a foyer and administration area.
