About the project
We upgraded facilities to accommodate enrolment growth at Fairfield Primary School.
The new facilities, which include a two-storey building next to the main campus on Wingrove Street, allow for an extra 200 local students.
We also demolished old classrooms at the Langridge Street campus, and replaced them with landscaped play areas.
In the 2016-17 State Budget, $12 million was allocated to schools across the state for planning. This included funding for Fairfield Primary School. In the 2019-20 State Budget, the school received $7 million.

About the project
We have upgraded and modernised facilities at Fairfield Primary School to accommodate enrolment growth.
We demolished an existing classroom building next to the main administration building and replaced it with a new, two-storey permanent modular building. It is the home of six new learning spaces, a common area for students to gather, toilets and a lift.
This project, designed by Fleetwood and NBRS Architecture, was the winner of 'Best Primary Project' in the2019 Victorian School Design Awards.
In the 2017-18 State Budget Update, $2.5 million was allocated to the school.
