About the project

We built a new primary school in Port Melbourne. It opened in 2026, helping the growing local population get great education close to home.

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

Tim Sawalaga was appointed the first principal of the school.

The school was known by its interim name, Fishermans Bend Primary School, during planning and design. Narrarrang Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Narrarrang (pronounced NUH-ruh-RUNG) is a Boonwurrung language word meaning she oak.

For enrolment enquiries or to learn more about the school, please email narrarrang.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
