About the project

We’re building a new secondary school in Truganina. The school, delivered as a junior and senior campus, will open day one of Term 1 in 2024 and help the growing local population get a great education close to home.

The junior campus will be able to enrol up to 600 junior students when the first stage of the school is complete and will be located at 30 Everton Road. Warreen Primary School and kindergarten will also be located at the same site.

The senior campus will be able to enrol up to 800 senior students when the first stage of the school is complete and will be located at 805 Morris Road.

In its first year of operation, Bemin Secondary College will open to Year 7 (junior campus) and Year 10 (senior campus) students only, and progress by year level thereafter. The 2024 school zones are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.auExternal Link .

Funding

In the 2021–22 State Budget, this school shared in the $491.565 million for new schools construction.

Funding type
New School

  • Bemin Secondary College was chosen as this new school’s name following a two-week community consultation. Bemin (pronounced bee-min) is a Bunurong word meaning ringtail possum.

    We used Truganina North Secondary School as an interim name while the school was being planned and designed.

  • Joanne Camozzato has been appointed as principal of the new school.

    Joanne has worked extensively in education in Victoria over 25 years. She was appointed as the foundation Middle school Principal at Mernda Central College and then as the foundation Principal of Edgars Creek Secondary College in 2018. Joanne’s experience is in the areas of student wellbeing and engagement, as well as teaching and learning.

  • When the junior campus (years 7–9) opens it will include:

    • an administration and library building
    • 2 learning neighbourhoods
    • an arts and technology building
    • a science and technology building
    • a community hub
    • car park
    • hard courts
    • outdoor play spaces.

    When the senior campus (years 10–12) opens it will include:

    • administration building
    • a library
    • a learning neighbourhood
    • technology and science buildings
    • a community hub
    • car parks
    • hard courts
    • outdoor play spaces.

    Students will have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. We have designed each campus to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage.

  • Across late 2021 and during early–mid 2022, we consulted with local Traditional Owners, represented by the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation to endorse the design of this new school.

    We sought feedback and advice on:

    • local Indigenous plantings
    • cultural stories and histories
    • translations of Indigenous words
    • design elements that could enhance cultural education and understanding.
