Camberwell Primary School is an innovative English French immersion school committed to providing an outstanding education in an inclusive, caring and supportive learning environment. Having become a bilingual school in 1991, the school was admitted to the Bilingual Programs Project in mid 1997 which provides additional funding to our school. In 2014 Camberwell Primary School became one of only two schools in Australia that have been awarded the "LabelFrancducation" seal.
