Tarneit electorate
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:49): (631) My question is to the Minister for Education. How will the construction of Riverdale North primary school benefit students and families in the Tarneit area? Construction of Riverdale North primary school, which is of course the school’s interim name, is underway with $573.178 million allocated in the 2023–24 budget. This school is set to open in term 1 of 2025, so term 1 next year, providing access to quality education for up to 650 students upon its opening. Our community of Tarneit and Hoppers Crossing is rapidly growing, with more families choosing to put down their roots in our fantastic patch of Melbourne’s west. In the last year we have built two new schools, Brinbeal Secondary College and Wimba Primary School, which are now open and thriving. It has been fantastic seeing updates on the construction of the school, and I look forward to opening it next year.
