About the project
We built a new specialist school in Werribee. It opened in 2024. The school provides educational programs for students with mild to profound intellectual disability.
Walcom Ngarrwa Secondary College is located next to the school.
Michele Marcu was appointed as the first principal of the new school.
The school was known by its interim name, Lollypop Creek Specialist School, during planning and design. Nganboo Borron School was chosen as this new school’s name following a 2-week community consultation. Nganboo Borron (pronounced naan-boo bore-on) are Wadawurrung words meaning children first, nurturing on your shoulder.
Facilities
The school has:
- an administration and library building
- 2 learning neighbourhoods (junior & senior)
- a community hub
- outdoor play spaces
- a hardcourt
- a carpark.
Students have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. Outside, they have shade sails for sun protection. We have designed the school to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage.
Funding
In the 2022–23 State Budget, the school shared in $527.233 million allocated for new schools. In 2023–24, the school was allocated an additional share in $180.295 million.
