Two new schools opening in 2027 now have their official names and are on track to welcome their first students for Term 1.
What are the new school names?
- Barramayil Primary School in Aintree (interim name was Aintree North Primary School)
- Wayart School in Officer (interim name was Officer Brunt Road Specialist School).
How were the names selected?
In 2023, the Victorian Government announced that First Nations language names would be preferenced in an initiative to further promote First Nations self-determination, language, and culture across the state.
The 2027 new school names were chosen with input from Traditional Owner groups, Geographic Names Victoria and via public consultation before approval by the Minister for Education.
You can learn more about the department's commitment to inclusion and improving the lives of First Nations communities in Victoria:
