Families are a step closer to having access to three new primary schools in Casey with principals appointed to start in term one next year.
These new schools – currently under construction – will cater to families living in fast-growing suburbs.
The schools include Botanic Ridge Primary School, Casey Fields (Five Ways) Primary School, and Clyde North East Primary School.
Principals were appointed following a thorough Department of Education expression of interest process to select some of Victoria’s best and brightest educators to lead the schools.
The new schools opening in 2020 are part of the Labor Government’s school building boom that will see 100 new government schools open by 2026.
Minister for Education James Merlino said: “We know that Victoria’s population is booming, which is why we’re building and upgrading schools across the state to meet the needs of our growing communities.”
“The appointment of the new principals is another major milestone in the delivery of these exciting new schools,” he said.
