Alphington Primary School

We upgraded and modernised the school by constructing a new 2-storey administration block, library and staff rooms.

The Victorian Government is investing in the school to deliver a competition-grade gymnasium, music room and a 3-level learning building. This stage also includes refurbishing the art room and classrooms in the heritage building, and landscaping works.

The upgrade will create new teaching and learning spaces for an additional 200 students.

Community engagement

Thank you to everyone who took the time to engage with us during our consultation in October 2018. We wanted to hear the community's thoughts on the best way to build capacity. 2 options were under consideration; upgrading the current campus, or building a new senior primary campus for Years 5 & 6.

Across all options explored, we heard consistently that the community values a strong community connection, access to the school, open space and safety. We heard that there was little support for Option 2 with a range of concerns raised about student wellbeing, access, outdoor space and cohesion in the school community.

After receiving the community’s views and the strengths and weaknesses of the considered options, the Victorian Government decided to upgrade Alphington Primary School at its current site.

We replaced the roof of the main building to prevent leaks and maintain the character of the original building.
