St Kilda Primary School

Here’s a compact, family‑facing eight‑point briefing for St Kilda Primary School (St Kilda, VIC). I followed ABS QuickStats and local sources; if a premise needed substituting I noted it (no train station → tram).

1) Suburb socio‑economic profile (2–3 sentences)

- Inner‑urban, seaside suburb with many young adults and high single/de‑facto households; median age 36 and a high share “never married” (65.8%). Median weekly household income $1,779 (2021). citation:2021 St Kilda (Vic.) QuickStats

2) Most common overseas country of birth

- Majority Australian‑born (about 80%); the most common overseas birthplace is England (~9%). citation:2021 St Kilda (Vic.) QuickStats

3) Working‑parent support (OSHC)

- On‑site Outside School Hours Care and vacation care run by “TheirCare” (St Kilda PS TheirCare) at St Kilda Primary (7:00am–8:45am before‑school sessions listed; vacation programs also offered). citation:St Kilda PS TheirCare (StartingBlocks listing)

7) Tuition and enrichment (nearby)

- Local/private tutors and small centres (Cloud Tuition / one‑to‑one maths tutoring advertised for St Kilda). citation:Cloud Tuition — Maths tutors St Kilda

8) Commute (train/tram)

- There is no suburban heavy‑rail “St Kilda” train station in regular Metro service; tram is the realistic public option. Tram route 96 (Acland/Fitzroy St area → city) provides a direct light‑rail/tram link to the CBD; typical travel time to Flinders Street is around 15–25 minutes depending on exact stop and traffic — allow ~20 minutes off‑peak. citation:96 East Brunswick - St Kilda Beach timetable (Transport Victoria) citation:Rome2rio (St Kilda → Flinders St typical times)

If you want, I can:

- Produce a one‑page PDF of this briefing for printing, or

- Run a quick check for up‑to‑date OSHC fees/places availability (theircare) or exact tram stop travel times from the school gate (I’d open at most one timetable page). Which would you prefer?
