The Cranbourne community will have the chance to have their say on the name of a new government school opening next year.

Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said the Victorian School Building Authority would consult with local communities on naming new schools currently under construction and set to open in 2020.

This will include a name for the new primary schools opening in Cranbourne, which have been currently known as Botanic Ridge Primary and Casey Fields (Five Ways) Primary.

The community will also be able to put forward a name for a new primary school opening in Clyde, which has been currently known as Clyde North East Primary School.

Community engagement will begin in Term 2, 2019, and people will be able to provide feedback across multiple channels such as online and social media.

Ms Richards said: “We’re giving the Cranbourne community the opportunity to shape the character of this brand-new school.”

“This is your chance to put forward a school name that reflects the unique charm of our area.”

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas said: “We’re giving the Casey community the opportunity to shape the character of this brand-new school.”

These new schools are part of the Labor Government’s school building boom that will see 100 new government schools open over the next eight years.

The Labor Government has invested more than $3.8 billion to deliver new schools and more than 1,300 school upgrades, supporting more than 5,000 construction jobs for Victorians.
