About the project
We built a new secondary school in Aintree. It opened in 2024, helping the growing local population get a great education close to home. In its first year of operation, Yarrabing Secondary College opened to Year 7 students only. It will progress by year level thereafter.
Dharra School is located next to the school.
John Mitsinikos was appointed as principal of the new school.
The school was known by its interim name, Aintree Secondary School, during planning and design. Yarrabing Secondary College was chosen as this new school’s name following a 2-week community consultation. Yarrabing (pronounced yarra-bing) is a Woi-wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people meaning white gum.
Facilities
The school has the following facilities:
- a design, arts, technology and science (DATS) building
- a learning neighbourhood
- a community hub
- hard courts
- 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.
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.
