Barrawang Primary School

Find out more about the kindergarten at Barrawang Primary School.

We built a new primary school in Wollert West. It opened in 2023, helping the growing local population get great education close to home. The school is open for enrolments from Prep to Grade 6.

Alisha Campbell was appointed as the first principal of the school.

The school was previously known by its interim name, Wollert West Primary School, during the planning phase. We consulted with the community on school's name from 20 June 2022 to 8 July 2022.

Barrawang (pronounced barra-wang) is a Woi-wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people meaning magpie.
