Welcome to Forest Primary School
Forest is a small rural community approximately 15 kms east of Smithton where agriculture is the main industry. Forest Primary School is located in the heart of Forest and is set on approximately 5 acres which allows the school to provide a specialised Agriculture program.

We welcome families into the school to support their child's educational journey and enjoy seeing our students strive to be the best they can be.
