About the project
We built a new primary school in Clyde North. It opened in 2024, helping the growing local population get a great education close to home. The school is open for enrolments from Prep to Grade 6.
Marc de Ley was appointed as the first principal of the school.
The school was known by its interim name, Alexander Boulevard Primary School, during planning and design. Topirum Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following a 2-week community consultation. Topirum (pronounced top-pur-um) is a Bunurong word meaning star.
Facilities
The school has the following facilities:
- an administration and library building
- 2 learning neighbourhoods
- a community hub with indoor multi-use court, canteen and arts/music spaces
- hard courts
- a sportsfield
- a carpark.
Students have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. Outside, they have shade sails for sun protection. We have designed the school to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage.
You can learn more about the school through their website.
Kindergarten
We're building Topirum Primary School Kindergarten at the school. It will open in 2025, one year after the school opened. Having the kindergarten and school together may help local children make a smooth transition into primary school and can also make drop-off time simpler for some families.
Funding
In the 2022–23 State Budget, the school shared in $527.233 million allocated for new schools. In 2023–24, the school was allocated an additional share in $180.295 million.
