Erasmus Primary School

Overview

Erasmus Primary School is a Catholic primary school at 40 Lisson Grove, Hawthorn, serving the residential community around Hawthorn's western fringe near the Yarra River. Lisson Grove is a quiet, tree-lined street close to Barkers Road and the East Hawthorn neighbourhood, with families walking from surrounding streets including Power Street, Barkers Road, and the residential avenues that run toward the Yarra River parklands. The school is anchored by its Catholic faith community and parish connections, providing a nurturing and values-based education. The Yarra River trail is within very easy walking distance of the school, and the expansive parklands and gardens along the Yarra provide a natural backdrop to school life and regular outdoor excursions. Hawthorn Oval and Morell Park nearby offer further recreational space. Glenferrie Road's commercial strip is accessible for daily café visits and errands. Hawthorn Railway Station on the Alamein line is close by, and trams on Burwood Road and Glenferrie Road offer CBD and suburban connections. The area around Lisson Grove retains a relatively quiet, established residential character compared to the busier Glenferrie strip, with Victorian terraces and brick homes on narrow streets typical of inner Hawthorn's western edge. A community-focused Catholic school in a well-loved setting.
