Your new school’s name

Kuyim Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Kuyim (pronounced koo-yim) is a Bunurong word meaning kangaroo.

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