Northcote Primary School is known for its strong sense of community. Over its 135 year history the school has evolved into a place where community is important and our students continue to achieve academically.

Northcote High School was established in 1926 as a co-educational secondary school, one of the first six to be established in Melbourne by the Victorian Government. The school owes its establishment largely to agitation led by John Cain (senior), Northcote City Councillor and later Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Jika Jika, with support from the Principals of nearby Wales Street Primary School and Northcote Primary School. Cain's repeated efforts to establish a school to provide secondary education for the predominantly working class suburb of Northcote were finally successful, despite an environment of opposition from conservative politicians and independent principals.

The school has a strong connection to the inner northern Melbourne suburbs of Fitzroy North, Clifton Hill, Brunswick East, Northcote, Thornbury, Fairfield, Preston and Reservoir with many of its students attending the school as their parents once did. A feature of Northcote High School is the numbers of staff who are former students (including two former School Captains) and others who have their own children at the school.Although Northcote High School was established as a coeducational school, it became a boy's school after 1928 when Preston Girls High School was established. In the 1980s Northcote High School again began to enrol girls in response to community pressure, officially moving to coeducation in 1989. In 2012 there were approximately 840 boys and 710 girls enrolled.

Northcote High School first offered a limited Maths and Science Matriculation (final year certificate) in the 1940s. Principal Alex Sutherland expanded Matriculation in the 1950s to include most subjects on the curriculum. The school continues this tradition today with a very broad range of Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) subjects on offer.

Thank you very much Pasadhuku family for the such valuable gift of Lord Ganesh. He states in the center of the house and looks after us for everything. He encourage, inspires, the blessings which will lead us to accomplish our destiny smoothly. SHREE GANESHAYE NAMAA :

We left Nepal the nest day of  Purnima after Dashain. In two weeks the Tihar was there. Till that time we have searched markets and other places where lots of people could found. We found lot of Asian Chinese shops where we found MASALA and DAL. We were searching for Indian shops. We found one tiny Indian shop on the High Street and went to search for ritual things. Though it was Indian shop we could not found picture of Goddess Lakshmi. With the help of son and daughter we drawn the picture of Goddess Lakshmi and started Lakshmi puja in the Melbourne. Melbourne is very nice city. Almost all residence have open area in front of their house and they are green with flowers and trees. For the tihar we hardly find little flowers to decorate and offer to the god. With the flashback of Marigold flower we celebrate tihar with the flowers we took from others compound without notice.
