Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The central red brick building with tiled roof of East Ivanhoe Primary School, designed in 1929 -30, is significant. The extensions to the red brick building and later buildings on the site are not significant.
How is it significant?
East Ivanhoe Primary School is of local historic, aesthetic and social significance to the City of Banyule.
Why is it significant?
East Ivanhoe Primary School is historically significant as it demonstrates the growth of Ivanhoe as a suburb in the Inter war period, resulting inthe need for an additional primary school in the area formerly served by Ivanhoe Primary School. For a period of time from 1933 Ivanhoe East served as a central school taking Grades 7 and 8 which were normally part of the High School system. Central Schools were relatively uncommon in the State system but did also operate in Malvern and Gardenvale. (Criterion A)
The 1929 -30 building is aesthetically significant for its landmark quality in Warncliffe Road at the intersection of Veitch Road. The building of 1929-30 is complemented by the Warncliffe Road street tree planting. The red brick building demonstates elements of the Georgian Revival style in the multi-pane timber sash windows and projecting central porch with arch headed doorway. The 'T' shaped hipped roof on the central wing is still legible, despite the later additions to the end and rear of the central building that are not significant. (Criterion D)
It is of social significance as a primary school still serving the local community of Ivanhoe East. (Criterion G)-

Ivanhoe East Primary School No. 4386 - Physical Description 1
East Ivanhoe Primary School is a two storey brick construction of red face brick with a tiled roof. The original building of 1929-30 consists of a 'T' shaped hipped roofwhich now forms the centre of a much larger building, having been extended to the rear and at each end. It faces the end of Veitch Street and is a landmark building when viewed from this street.
Ivanhoe East Primary School is designed in the Inter War Georgian Revival style and has a central porch with rendered parapet and inscribed lettering. The door is set in an arched opening and flanked by a pair of windows. All of the windows are of the Georgian revival multi-pane design and are arranged in banks of three across the facade. The front privet hedge and gates are a later addition, but are consistent with the design of the building. It is representative of a particular style of school building of several schools of this period, including Essendon High School and University High School in Parkville. It has similarities with Brunswick South-West Primary School.
Later buildings on the site including the art room of 1968 and a libary of 1977 are not of interest.
