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.

This school will help meet increasing enrolment demand from a growing local population. It will help local students get high-quality education close to home.

When open for Term 1, 2026 the school will include:

  • 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.
