About the project

We're building a new primary school in Wollert. It will open for day one of Term 1 in 2026 and have places for up to 525 students, from Prep to Year 6.

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:

  • an administration and library building with spaces for art, science and food technology
  • 2 learning neighbourhoods
  • hard courts
  • a sports field
  • a community hub building.

Enrolments for 2026 are open

The school is open for enrolments for students in Foundation (Prep) to Grade 6.

Your new school name

The school was known by its interim name, Wollert Andrews Road Primary School, during planning and design. Umarkoo Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Umarkoo (pronounced u-mah-koo) is a Wurundjeri Woi wurrung language word meaning everyone.
