About the project

We're building a new primary school. It will open for day one of Term 1 in 2026 and have places for up to 575 students, including 50 students with disabilities.

This school will help meet increasing enrolment demand from a growing local population. It will help local students get high-quality education close to home.

When open for Term 1, 2026 the school will include:

  • 3 learning neighbourhoods
  • an administration and library building
  • outdoor hard courts
  • a community hub with indoor multi-use court, canteen and arts/music spaces
  • a sports field
  • a car park.

Enrolments for 2026 are open

Tarneit Plains Primary School is a supported inclusion school. Supported inclusion schools are local government schools with some extra accessibility features. These features help them teach and support more students with a disability.
