The state government announced on Wednesday, January 10 that a new primary school in Weir Views will open in January 2026.
Toolern Waters Primary School (interim name) in Weir Views will cater to 715 students, including 65 places for students with disability.
Acting Premier and Education Minister Ben Carroll announced that construction will begin at Tollern Waters and four other future primary schools in Truganina, Wallan, Geelong and Wodonga.
“We’re proud to be giving students and their hard-working families in growing communities across our state the world-class schools they deserve, close to home,” he said.
“These new schools will give children and teachers the modern facilities to set them up for success – and give families of children with additional needs a choice about their education.”
The builds come from a $280 million investment that will eventually support more than 2,800 students.
Tenders to build the new schools will open early this year and construction is expected to begin from the middle of 2024.
Three schools are set to open in Melton for term one this year – Yarrabing Secondary College in Aintree, Dharra Specialist School in Aintree and Binap Primary School in Brookfield.
