It’s been an exciting start to the new school year for students living in Melton.
Three new schools opened their doors for the start of term one and two extra bus services are helping deliver students to school in Australia’s fastest growing municipality.
The new schools are Dharra Specialist School in Aintree with capacity for 148 students, Binap Primary School in Brookfield, which has capacity for 575 students, including 50 places for students with disability, and Yarrabing Secondary College in Aintree, which has capacity for 550 students.
As well as new schools, the state government announced two additional school bus services in the City of Melton.
The additional bus services will run to Springside West Secondary College and the new Yarrabing Secondary College.
Melton Mayor Kathy Majdlik said the additional schools and bus services increase accessibility to education for residents from some of Melton’s newest estates including Aintree, Thornhill Park and Rockbank.
“We will continue to represent the community to seek investment for more schools. We will also continue to advocate for a review of the existing bus network and the delivery of additional bus routes, so more residents have access to employment, education and
Services,” she said.
