Richmond West Primary School

Overview

Richmond West Primary School is a government primary school at 25 Lennox Street, Richmond, set within Richmond's densely residential western end near the border with East Melbourne. Lennox Street is a typical Richmond inner-city street with terrace houses, cafés, and the intense urban character that defines this historic suburb. Families walk from Lennox Street, Punt Road, and the nearby streets of west Richmond and Cremorne, navigating the narrow footpaths and vibrant streetscape each morning. The school draws from an increasingly diverse and growing community as Richmond continues its transformation through apartment development and the expansion of the Cremorne technology and creative hub. Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre on the Yarra River precinct is within walking distance to the south. The Yarra River parklands and the Burnley Golf Course to the east provide open recreational space. Swan Street and Bridge Road are the suburb's main shopping and dining arteries, both within easy walking distance. Richmond Railway Station and East Richmond Station on the Flinders Street and Burnley lines provide excellent city access. Trams on Punt Road, Bridge Road, and Swan Street offer multiple route options. A well-loved school in a suburb undergoing rapid growth and significant change, with a community as diverse and energetic as Richmond itself.
