About Us

The Greek Orthodox Community of Mentone and Districts established the Taxiarches Greek School “The School” in 1961. The School has been providing Greek language and culture education ever since.

The School is one of the more established Greek schools and the very first one to win the right to be housed in proper classrooms within a mainstream school. The School’s successful application to the Cheltenham East Primary School to hold classes there became a model and a watershed moment for all community language schools in Victoria.

The Taxiarches School is proud of its innovative history in this and in other areas.

The School became incorporated at the behest of the Department of Education. The incorporation came through on 24/09/2021. Prior to this date, the School operated under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Community of Mentone and Districts.

The official name of the school is now the Taxiarches Greek School of Mentone and Districts Inc. It operates independently from the Community.
