Name revealed for new school in Cranbourne North

The name of Cranbourne North’s newest school has been revealed as it prepares to open its doors next year.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas announced the name Kala Primary School had been chosen for the previously interim-named Casey Central Primary School following community feedback and consultation with Traditional Owner groups.

Kala Primary School is one of 19 schools set to open in Term 1, 2026.

In 2023, it was announced that new schools would be given First Nations language names to help support self-determination, language and culture across the state.

The new names were chosen following a two-week consultation process. The Victorian School Building Authority received more than 2,300 submissions from Victorians.

“I, along with so many families and students, can’t wait for Kala Primary School to open its doors next year. This brand new school will give our community the modern learning facilities it deserves,” Mr Maas said.

“Schools are the heart of our communities. The new Kala Primary School in Cranbourne North will deliver quality education for our growing area while easing pressure on other local primary schools.”
