These two new schools form part of a wider education and community hub, established at this location on Polly Parade in Tarneit by the Victorian Government. The state government has committed to building a new kindergarten either on-site or next door to each newly built primary school.
Co-locating kindergartens at primary schools provides many benefits to families, including:
- Easy to access kindergarten programs
- Simple and convenient drop-offs and pickups.
- A smooth transition from kindergarten to school.
The neighbouring kindergarten at this site is Bembit Bag-rook Community Centre. This centre will also offer maternal and child health care services alongside its kindergarten facilities.
