About the project

We built a new primary school in Truganina. It opened in 2026, helping the growing local population get great education close to home.

The school is open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6.

Blayne Wallis was appointed the first principal of the school.

The school was known by its interim name, Tarneit Plains Primary School, during planning and design. Mindalk Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Mindalk (pronounced MIN-dulk) is a Boonwurrung language word meaning wombat.

For enrolment enquiries or to learn more about the school, please email mindalk.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

Facilities

The school has the following facilities:

  • 3 learning neighbourhoods
  • an administration and library building
  • outdoor hard courts
  • a community hub with indoor multi-use court, canteen and arts/music spaces
  • a sports field
  • a car park.

Supported inclusion school

Mindalk Primary School is a supported inclusion school. Supported inclusion schools (SIS) are different to specialist schools. They are local schools that have facilities to provide extra support for students with a disability. Specialised facilities in these schools may include sensory areas, accessible play spaces and wider corridors.

Funding

The 2022–23 State Budget provided $236.7 million to acquire land for 15 future schools, including this school. In the 2024–25 State Budget, this school shared in $947.7 million allocated for new schools construction.
