About the project
We're building a new secondary school. It will open for day one of Term 1 in 2026 and be able to enrol up to 865 students, including 65 students with disabilities, when the school is complete.

- a double-storey building with:
- administration spaces and a library
- a learning neighbourhood
- a 3-storey building with specialist learning areas for technology, science and the arts
- 2 outdoor hardcourts
- a bus loop and staff parking.
By Term 2, 2026, we expect to complete:
- a community hub with:
- an indoor multi-use court
- toilets and change room
- a fitness room
- specialist learning areas for music and drama
- specialist learning areas for food technology
- a canteen
- a sports field.
Enrolments for 2026 are open
Cobblebank Secondary School is a supported inclusion school. Supported inclusion schools are local government schools with some extra accessibility features. These features help them provide education and support for a higher percentage of students with disability.
In its first year of operation, Cobblebank Secondary School will open to Year 7 students only, with an additional year level added each year. The 2026 school zones are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au.
For all enrolment queries, please email cobblebank.ss@education.vic.gov.au.

Funding
Funding from the 2018-19 State Budget was initially allocated to purchase land for a new secondary school in Cobblebank, near Melton. Following early community engagement in 2019 and further investigations since then, this funding was relocated to a secondary school for Aintree. In the 2024-25 State Budget, this school shared in $947.7 million allocated for new schools construction. This school also received Growth Areas Infrastructure Contribution funding for construction.
