Designs have been unveiled for the Truganina North Education Precinct.
Education Minister Natalie Hutchins and Early Childhood and Pre-Prep Minister Ingrid Stitt on April 10 unveiled designs for the new education precinct which include, Truganina North Secondary School (interim name) and Truganina North Primary School (interim name), along with a new co-located kindergarten.
Offering improved accessibility for families across the Truganina North community, the precinct means local students are provided with a smoother transition from kinder all the way through to secondary school, with all facilities located within the same precinct.
Expanded in 2021 to meet the community’s growing needs, Truganina North Primary School will be able to enrol up to 650 prep to grade six students when it opens on day one of term one next year.
The school will include an administration and library building, three learning neighbourhoods and a community hub, with a co-located kindergarten offering places for 66 children which will also open from Term 1 in 2024 – saving parents and carers time and money with one easy drop off.
Truganina North Secondary School junior campus, located in Everton Road will be able to enrol up to 600 students and will include an administration and library building, two learning neighbourhoods, an arts and technology building, science and technology building and a community hub.
The senior campus in Morris Road will be able to enrol up to 800 senior students and will include an administration building, library, learning neighbourhood, technology and science buildings and a community hub.
The secondary school will open to year seven junior campus) and year 10 (senior campus) students in its first year, and progress by year level thereafter.
Ms Hutchins said a growing area like Wyndham needs investment in educational infrastructure to match, that’s why we’re building more schools there than anywhere else in the state.
“We’re ensuring students and teachers across the state have the 21st century modern learning facilities they need, just like these much-needed schools and kindergarten in Truganina, enabling them to reach their full potential.”
Laverton MP Sarah Connolly said they making sure that families living in Truganina North have access to a kindergarten, a primary school and a secondary school all located at the same site, making those morning drop-offs and afternoon pickups that much easier.
