\u201cThis is the next step for Armstrong Creek West Primary and means families in South Barwon are a step closer to getting a great new school and a great education,\u201d South Barwon MP Darren Cheeseman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery student deserves access to the best facilities and the best teachers close to home, and the new Armstrong Creek West Primary School will deliver exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n
To be built on Unity and Foundation drives in Villawood\u2019s Armstrong Mt Duneed development, the primary school will cater for 475 pupils.<\/p>\n
A school advisory group shortlisted four possible names for the school \u2013 Unity Drive Primary School, Baanip Primary School, Aruma Primary School and Aviation Drive Primary School \u2013 with consultation closing on July 26. The new school name will be announced in term four of this year.<\/p>\n
New schools will open next year in Ballarat, Casey, Greater Dandenong, Hume, Mitchell and Wyndham.<\/p>\n
The new schools opening in 2020 are part of state Labor\u2019s school building boom that will see 100 new government schools open by 2026.<\/p>\n
