About the project
We built a new primary school in Cranbourne West. It opened in 2023, helping the growing local population get great education close to home.
The school will have space for 715 local students, including approximately 65 places for young people with specialist needs. The school is open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6.
This school is a supported inclusion school, which is a mainstream school with additional professional capabilities and facilities to cater for a higher than usual proportion of students with disability. Students with disability will receive enhanced support and high-quality education alongside mainstream students to the greatest extent possible in a safe, accessible and supportive environment.
Elizabeth Davey has been appointed as the new principal of this school.

We used Camms Road Primary School as an interim name while the school was being built and established.

We're building Quarters Primary School Kindergarten, a two-room kindergarten at the school that can offer up to 66 kindergarten places.
The building may initially open for community and family services only. It will switch to being a kindergarten as the local community grows and demand builds for more early childhood education.

Supported inclusion schools are mainstream schools designed to support a higher number of students with a disability than typical mainstream schools. Students with disability will receive enhanced support and high-quality education alongside mainstream students to the greatest extent possible in a safe, accessible and supportive environment.
Supported inclusion schools offer additional amenities to support and enhance learning such as:
- acoustics and lighting designed for the needs of students with particular disabilities
- wider corridors where wheelchairs can pass
- fitness rooms for physical education and therapy
- enhanced accessible toilets fitted with hoists
- smaller multipurpose spaces suitable for consultations, 1:1, or small group learning
- additional provisions for student pick-up/drop-off
- covered walkways
- kitchen facilities for students with special dietary or medication requirements.
