About the project
We built a new primary school in the City of Whittlesea. It opened in 2023, helping the growing local population get great education close to home.
The school will have space for 525 local students and is open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6.
David Williams has been appointed as the new principal of this school.
In the 2021–22 State Budget, this school shared in the $491.565 million for new schools construction.

Donnybrook Primary School was chosen as the new school name following community consultation. The school is named after the suburb it is located in.
We used Hayes Hill Primary School as an interim name while the school was being built and established.

We're building Hayes Hill School Kindergarten (interim name) at the school. Having the kindergarten and school together may help local children make a smooth transition into primary school and can also make drop-off time simpler for some families.
The kindergarten will open Term 1 2024.
