A new Catholic primary school will be coming to Stockland Mt. Atkinson following the purchase of 3.1 hectares of land by Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS).
The Catholic primary school will be located on the corner of Sentinel Parade and Clara Avenue in Truganina and is scheduled to open in 2026.
It is the second of three schools which have been proposed for the community, with the Victorian School Board Authority purchasing 3.5 hectares of land for a future primary school in the area earlier this year.
A MACS spokesperson said MACS is pleased to be offering a high-quality, faith-based, and affordable education option for families in the Mt Atkinson area.
“We are delighted with the school site and look forward to delivering what will be a leading-edge P-6 education facility, opening in 2026,” they said.
“We look forward to working closely with the local community as the school is developed and enrolments are opened.”
Mt. Atkinson is currently home to approximately 900 families, with around 4,400 families expected to live there upon completion.
Stockland senior development manager Aaron Fisher said the new school will help cater to the needs of the growing community.
“It’s important that families have options when it comes to their children’s education, and this new school will provide additional choice in a convenient and central location,” he said.
“We look forward to welcoming the second of three planned schools to Mt. Atkinson as we continue expanding the community for current and future residents.”
The School will be constructed by MACS.
