Keysborough Gardens Primary School

We are continuing our work at the school. We are expanding the school to allow for more local students. The school will be able to enrol up to 150 additional students once the works are complete. We are also building an Indigenous Friendship Garden. We will also be upgrading the playground, sports facilities, canteen and car park.

We built a new primary school for Keysborough. Take a virtual tour and experience this school through the eyes of its students.

The school will help ease enrolment pressures at surrounding schools and meet future demand from a growing population. The school, designed by Architectus and K2LD as part of the Growth Areas Schools Project, was a winner of the 'Minister's Award for Excellence' in the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards.

Further information on the school can be found at its official Facebook page.

A hub with an early learning centre is being planned close to Keysborough Gardens Primary School. This will help local children make a smooth transition from pre-school and reduce the number of drop-offs for some parents with kinder and school-aged children.

School name

Keysborough Gardens Primary School was originally known by the interim name of Keysborough South Primary School while it was being planned and built.

The school's location was predominately market gardens in the past. The new name acknowledges this history, and helps the school form an identity connected to the area.

The Department of Education chose this name after consulting with local communities on the names for all schools opening in 2020. To reach a final decision, the Department considered this community feedback along with the guiding principles for naming a new school.

Possible names for all the new schools were initially shortlisted by school advisory groups, who considered factors such as public interest, relevance to the local area, and local First Nations languages. The names were also chosen to help reflect each school's unique identity, inspire local pride and make them easily locatable.

We built an inclusive playground, including shade sail and new play and sensory equipment.

We helped the school upgrade the oval.
