We built a new primary school in Werribee.
Riverwalk Primary School was originally known by the interim name of Wyndham South (Riverwalk) Primary School while it was being planned and built.
The school will help ease enrolment pressures for surrounding schools, and meet demand from a growing population.
The school will include a performing arts and physical education building, and administration areas.
Further information on the school can be found at its official Facebook page.
Principal Appointment
We are pleased to announce that Paris Spencer has been appointed as the first principal of Riverwalk Primary School.
This appointment follows a thorough Department of Education expression of interest process.
Information Events
We held information events in September and October 2019.
Transition/Orientation Days
To ensure all of our future students had the opportunity to meet their teachers and see what the school is all about, we held orientation days in December and January.
School Name
Riverwalk Primary School was originally known by the interim name of Wyndham South (Riverwalk) Primary School while it was being planned and built.
The school is located in the 'Riverwalk Estate'. Its new name reflects this location, and pays tribute to the nearby Werribee River.
The Department of Education chose this name after consulting with local communities on the names for all schools opening in 2020. To reach a final decision, the Department considered this community feedback along with the guiding principles for naming a new school.
Possible names for all the new schools were initially shortlisted by school advisory groups, who considered factors such as public interest, relevance to the local area, and local First Nations languages. The names were also chosen to help reflect each school's unique identity, inspire local pride and make them easily locatable.
Early Learning Centre
We are building a
kinder on site that is scheduled to open in 2021. It will help local children make a smooth transition from
pre-school and reduce the number of drop-offs for some parents with kinder
and school-aged children.
