Nearnung Primary School

We built a new primary school in the City of Wyndham. It opened in 2023, helping the growing local population get great education close to home. The school is open for enrolments from Prep to Grade 6.

Chris Simmons was appointed as the first principal of the school.

The school was previously known by its interim name, Tarneit Missen House Primary School, during the planning phase. We consulted with the community on school's name from 20 June 2022 to 8 July 2022. Nearnung (pronounced nee-a-noong) is a Bunurong word meaning black cockatoo.

Warringa Park School specialist campus is next door. It has places for primary-aged students with intellectual disabilities.
