Riverdale Secondary School will open in 2024.

Designs have been released for several new schools opening next year that are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

Education Minister Natalie Hutchins has unveiled the designs for 12 schools, which are among 14 set to open in 2024 and will enrol thousands of students between them – giving more local students a great education close to home.

Some of the school designs revealed include Aintree Secondary School, Alexander Boulevard Primary School, Lockerbie Central Primary School and Officer Brunt Road Primary School.

The schools are busily preparing for the 2024 school year, starting with the appointment of principals who will recruit staff and design a curriculum.

Black Forest East, Tarneit North and Truganina North primary schools (interim names) will each include a kindergarten on the school site and are set to open in 2024, offering local families a total of 231 new kinder places.

The remaining new primary schools will all have kindergartens next door, either already operational, or to be operational within a year of the school’s opening in 2024.

As part of the $14bn Best Start, Best Life reform, the state government has delivered a kindergarten on-site or next door to every new primary school since 2021, ensuring programs are easier to access, drop-off time is simpler and more convenient for parents with a smoother transition from kinder to school.

Delivery of 100 new schools by 2026 is ahead of schedule, with 75 new schools opening between 2019 and 2024 – ensuring every student can access a great local school and a quality education no matter where they live.

Ms Hutchins said: “We’re proud to be giving students and teachers right across Victoria the modern learning facilities they need to enable them to reach their full potential.”

Early Childhood and Pre-Prep Minister Ingrid Stitt said: “We’ve made early childhood education work for families – Kinder is now free, we’re ramping up the hours of funded early learning, and delivering kinders right on school sites to make drop-off easy for busy parents.”
