Darwin Preschool & Primary Education

Where Every Child Feels Valued, Supported and Inspired to Achieve

Our Heritage

A Proud Darwin School Since 1972

Moil Primary School has been part of the Darwin community for over 50 years. Named after the Maringar Aboriginal people of the Moyle River region, our school reflects a deep respect for culture, history and community.

 

From our beginnings in 1972 to today, Moil has grown into a vibrant learning environment set within spacious landscaped grounds. While our facilities have modernised, our core values remain unchanged — care, respect and achievement for every child.
