Brookfield Primary School (interim name)

We’re building a new primary school in Brookfield. It will open day one of Term 1 in 2024 and help the growing local population get a great education close to home.

It will be able to enrol up to 575 students, including approximately 50 places for young people with specialist needs, when the school is complete.

The school will open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6.

Brookfield Primary School (interim name) is a supported inclusion school, which is a mainstream school with additional professional capabilities and facilities designed to cater for a higher than usual proportion of students with disability. Students with disability will receive enhanced support and high-quality, evidence-based educational provision alongside mainstream students to the greatest extent possible in a safe, accessible and supportive environment.

The 2024 new school zones will be published online at findmyschool.vic.gov.au in Term 1, 2023.

The new school principal is expected to be appointed by Term 2, 2023.

The community will be able to help choose the new school’s name via the Engage Victoria website. Following consultation, the school’s name will be announced in Term 3, 2023.

Design consultation

Across late 2021 and during early–mid 2022, we consulted with local Traditional Owners, represented by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage 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
