We are upgrading Romsey Primary School with modern teaching and learning environments.
We will transform buildings into multifunction spaces and a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) centre. Our work will also address schools maintenance issues, provide landscaping, and add extra lighting to the carpark.
In our planning, we investigated the possibility of expanding the primary school to a P-9 school.
This included consulting the community to explore the potential benefits and concerns raised by the P-9 option, as well as factors that influence secondary school choice and access for local students.
The research found there are not enough students in the Romsey area to offer a broad, quality Year 7-9 curriculum at the primary school or a local standalone Years 7-12 secondary school, in the short or medium term.
The Victorian Government will continue to closely monitor population changes to ensure Romsey families have sufficient quality primary and secondary education options.
See below for more information about the review and community engagement findings.
Community Engagement
In October 2018, we consulted with the community from Romsey and the surrounding Macedon Ranges to gain feedback about factors influencing secondary school access and choice for local students. The consultation also explored the potential benefits and concerns raised by a possible P-9 option.
We have gathered all your ideas and feedback to produce the Romsey School Regeneration Project, Community Engagement Summary Report.
