Clyde North communities are encouraged to have their say on the names of two new schools opening in 2025.
As part of the State Government’s work to open 100 new schools between 2019 and 2026, Clyde North Primary School and Clyde North Secondary School (interim names) are waiting for new names.
In 2023, the government announced that Aboriginal language names would be preferred for new schools in an initiative to further promote Aboriginal self-determination, language, and culture across the state.
Minister for Education Ben Carroll said embracing First Nations languages in more school names would contribute to the ongoing process of reconciliation.
Traditional Owner groups have been consulted and have provided a shortlist of names for each new school.
The State Government is seeking the community’s input to help find a name for each school that reflects its unique identity and inspires local pride.
An online survey was launched on 22 May, which will be open for two weeks to give Victorians the chance to nominate their preferred name for their new neighbourhood school.
Consultation closes on Thursday 6 June 2024.
