The school caters for children from Prep to Year 6, with an enrolment of approximately 500 students. Mandama is located in near proximity to local pre-schools, post-primary schools and Deakin University.

Initially established in 1979 in Mandama Avenue Grovedale, the present architecturally designed school was built in Corang Avenue during 1987 and is set in delightful landscaped gardens incorporating both active and passive play areas.
