NEW NAME FOR NEW SCHOOL IN WYNDHAM SOUTH REVEALED

The name of the new Wyndham South (Riverwalk) Primary school opening in Wyndham South in 2020 has now been chosen, following local community consultation.

Member for Werribee, Tim Pallas MP today unveiled that Riverwalk Primary School has been formalised as the official name for the Wyndham school.

A School Advisory Group for each school provided input into the naming process and suggestions for possible names based on factors including public interest, relevance to the local area, and the consideration of local indigenous languages.

The Labor Government sought the community’s feedback on the proposed names and suggestions on alternative names as an opportunity to shape the identity of new schools.

It is part of the school building boom that will see 100 new government schools open by 2026. The Labor Government has invested $5.6 billion to deliver more than 1,400 school upgrades, supporting over 7,500 construction jobs for Victorians.
