Mernda’s exciting new primary school will be called Mernda Park Primary School, inspired by its location within the leafy green suburb surrounded by many attractive parks.
Yan Yean MP, Danielle Green said the name was chosen following the appointment of its inaugural principal, Mary Ryan, and consultation with the local community.
Mernda Park Primary School is one of 15 new schools being delivered through the Victorian Government’s $291 million Public Private Partnership (PPP) Project.

It will open its doors on the first day on Term 1, 2017, and its state-of-art facilities and design will include:
  • An additional multi-purpose space that YMCA will activate outside of school hours to provide a range of community services and programs;
  • An Integrated Early Learning Centre being delivered in partnership with the City of Whittlesea;
  • An expanded gymnasium built to Netball Victoria competition standards; and Embedded environmental education via the CERES ResourceSmart Schools program.

There are now 42 new government schools and hundreds of school upgrades in the construction pipeline following the Government’s record $1.8 billion investment in school infrastructure. This school building boom will create 4000 construction jobs and ensure all Victorian families have access to a great school no matter where they live.
