Wangala Primary School

In 2021, Wangala Primary School (formerly known as Oberon South Primary School) relocated to new facilities at the neighbouring Oberon High School site at Kidman Avenue, Belmont. Oberon High School was relocated to the Armstrong Creek Secondary College site from the 2021 school year.

This move has provided the Belmont community with a new school in a prime location that can be seen from the street and is close to the local kindergarten. We delivered two new, architecturally-designed modular buildings, which were constructed in a factory and put together at the new school location.These buildings feature general purpose classrooms, administration facilities and specialist areas.

School name

Wangala Primary School was officially renamed in 2021 following community consultation. ​​​Wangala Primary School was chosen as the school name following community consultation and discussions with Geographic Names Victoria, taking into account factors including public interest, relevance to the local area, and local Indigenous languages.

Wangala (pronounced wahn-GAH-la) is a Wadawurrung word meaning make good.

We consulted with the community on the school's name from 11 June to 25 June 2021.

We are building an outdoor inclusive learning space. It will give children of all abilities new ways to socialise, develop and learn through play.
