ONE of the new schools coming soon to Torquay has chosen its name.<\/p>\n
Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney last week announced the primary school under construction in Torquay North will be officially known as Torquay Coast Primary School.<\/p>\n
The school is being built to accommodate up to 400 pupils, and was designed with the local community in mind, creating a gathering place for local families and residents to enjoy community, arts, sports and recreation programs.<\/p>\n
The name was selected after wide community consultation led by the new school\u2019s principal, Darren Roskosch.<\/p>\n
The school\u2019s new logo was designed in consultation with graphic design students from nearby Surf Coast Secondary College.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe naming of the school heralds a new era for education in the Surf Coast region as more students will be able to access a high quality local education with first-rate facilities,\u201d Ms Tierney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delivering on our promises and building 56 new schools and completing more than 1,000 school upgrades across Victoria.\u201d<\/p>\n
