About the project
We’re building a new secondary school in Truganina. The school, delivered as a junior and senior campus, will open day one of Term 1 in 2024 and help the growing local population get a great education close to home.
The junior campus will be able to enrol up to 600 junior students when the first stage of the school is complete and will be located at 30 Everton Road. Truganina North Primary School (interim name) and kindergarten will also be located at the same site.
The senior campus will be able to enrol up to 800 senior students when the first stage of the school is complete and will be located at 805 Morris Road.
In its first year of operation, Truganina North Secondary School (interim name) will open to Year 7 (junior campus) and Year 10 (senior campus) students only, and progress by year level thereafter. The 2024 school zones are available at .
The school is now taking enrolments for Year 7 and Year 10 students for 2024. For enrolment queries, please email Joanne.Camozzato@education.vic.gov.au or vsba@education.vic.gov.au. You can find out more information on the year 6-7 placement .

We sought feedback and advice on:
