Your new school’s name

We have been using Mickleham South Primary School as an interim name throughout planning for this new school. We recently consulted with the community on a name.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the public consultation process and provided their feedback and naming preferences.

The Department of Education will use the survey responses to help inform the decision on each new school’s name before being announced by the Minister for Education. We will share this new name once it is announced.

Principal appointment

Maria Marchionna has been appointed principal of Mickleham South Primary School. Maria built a thriving school community as principal of Moomba Park Primary School in Fawkner. She did this by focusing on student learning and wellbeing. She also built trusted relationships with students, staff, and parents. Maria will foster a strong and inclusive school community to make sure all students reach their potential.

Funding

In the 2024-25 State Budget, this school shared in $947.7 million allocated for new schools construction.
