Established in 1861, Burwood East Primary School is one of Victoria's oldest schools, located in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, approximately 15 kilometres from the city centre. The school currently has a population of 170 students. The school comprises of: a main building incorporating nine classrooms, automated resource library, multi-purpose room, administration centre, canteen and a Reading Recovery centre; a smaller wing with five classrooms and an art and craft centre; and two free standing classrooms.

Garden beds are planted with Australian native plants, and many mature trees provide shade to assist sun protection.
