| Pakenham Consolidated School is a Prep to Year 6 school and has played a significant role in the history of Pakenham and its surrounding districts. The school first opened with an enrolment of 22 students on a site next to Toomuc Valley Creek approximately 125 years ago. In May 1951, a number of smaller schools in the area were consolidated onto one site in Main Street and became known as Pakenham Consolidated School . In 1997, the school relocated from Main Street to the present site in Rundell Way , which provides a modern and vibrant teaching environment. Specialist areas are Physical Education, Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Information Technology, all of which are conducted in well resourced facilities with full time teaching staff. The Global Learning Centre was opened in 1999 and is a multimedia centre administered by a full time Library Technician. Pakenham Consolidated School is a learning community which is committed to excellence, where life long learning is valued and equips students with social and emotional skills to effectively become responsible, ethical and caring members of the Australian society. Pakenham Consolidated School's mission is to create a learning and pastoral environment which provides educational and social programs designed to develop and enhance the academic, physical, artistic and emotional skills of all students so they can be competent, multi-talented and responsible family members, employees and citizens. At Pakenham Consolidated School the aim is to create a learning community where children become confident and socially skilled, knowledgeable young people who are literate and numerate and have a sense of connection to their world. Through the learning and teaching program, the children will be encouraged to recognise and develop their interests and talents, which will carry beyond school. The role of Pakenham Consolidated School is to facilitate these aims by offering a comprehensive range of excellent best practice learning programs within a safe and supportive learning environment, which is accessible to all students. Teachers, parents and students share a joint responsibility to achieve these aims as stakeholders in achieving a learning community. | ||||

| Pakenham Consolidated School care about each and every child, parent and member it's school community. The vast range of programs the school has to offer ensures that the children are challenged to achieve their very best. | That people make judgements based on the school being to big and that people put Pakenham as a whole down. | I am proud to say that my 4 children all attend Pakenham Consolidated School at that there achievements are of the highest standard. The staff are very helpful and the enthusiasm they have for their role and their commitment to the school shows through everyday | ||
