Melton Christian College’s new campus is taking shape, with construction under way on the gymnasium and administration buildings.

Melton MP Steve McGhie met with newly appointed head of campus Kellie Giannes at the Toolern Vale site on Friday, September 9 to inspect the works.

The state government provided the school with $5 million grant towards the new campus in late 2020.

The Toolern Vale campus is expected to open in term one next year, starting with prep and year one pupils.

The first stage of the campus will include classrooms, a gymnasium and administration buildings.

“It is exciting to see the site being built, but what is more exciting is the opportunity to work with the families that will be starting next year. We have one vision, and that is to partner with parents and nurture children through their learning, and we will be replicating what we have at Brookfield here at Toolern Vale,” Ms Giannes said.
