We are building a second campus for McKinnon Secondary College within the East Village development.
The new campus will open in 2022 to meet growing demand for enrolments at the school.
Enrolments
The new campus zone will be released in the first half of 2021.
State-wide school zone maps are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au .
Engagement
More than 230 students, teachers, parents and community members from McKinnon and the surrounding area participated in a consultation in August/September 2018 on the design, features and use of the planned campus.
We have incorporated the main themes they raised into the master plan:
- Build on McKinnon's community spirit, school reputation and commitment to excellence
- Need more capacity and facilities for this growing school community
- Existing school design and branding should be used to connect the two campuses
- Share events, safe access and technology will help connect the two campuses
- Outdoor recreation areas, green spaces and communal areas are important for connection and retreat

- a gymnasium with retractable seating and a commercial kitchen, which could be shared for community use.
