Education Minister Ben Carroll joined Melton MP Steve McGhie on a visit to a modern state of the art new school currently under construction in Brookfield.
The state government representatives toured the construction site on Tuesday, October 10, of what will be Binap Primary School, which is set to open its doors in Term 1, 2024.
Binap will have capacity for 575 students, including approximately 50 places for young people with special needs – these students will receive enhanced support and high-quality, evidence-based education alongside mainstream students.
Mr Carroll said new and modern school buildings contribute to school pride for students, their families and the wider community, building their engagement with education.
“Building new schools in areas where we’re seeing rapid population growth is essential for making sure every Victorian child can access a fantastic education close to home,” he said.
Some of the features of the new school will include a modern administration and library building, three ‘learning neighbourhoods’, a community hub with indoor multi-use court, canteen and arts/music spaces and a large sports field.
Binap Primary School is one of 14 new schools the state government is opening in 2024, with enrollment for students in Prep to Grade 6 currently open.
Mr McGhie said families in Brookfield are going to love Binap Primary School, where every child will receive the support, they need to thrive.
“Binap Primary School will deliver high-quality learning spaces for students with disabilities, enhancing their school experience and helping them to improve their learning outcomes,” he said.
