We’re building a new primary school in Tarneit. It will open day one of Term 1 in 2025 and help the growing local population get great education close to home.

The school will open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6. It will be able to enrol up to 650 students when the school is complete. You can find out if you're in the school enrolment zone by entering your address at findmyschool.vic.gov.au.

For enrolment enquiries, please continue to email riverdale.north.ps@education.vic.gov.au until the new school email is assigned.

Your new school’s name

Barayip Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Barayip (pronounced ba-ray-ip) is a Bunurong word meaning spring.

We used Riverdale North Primary School as an interim name while the school was being planned, designed, and built.
