About the project

We built a new primary school in Wyndham Vale. It opened in 2021 and helps the growing local population get great education close to home.

Lisa Conibeer has been appointed as the first principal. Enrolments are now open for Prep to Year 6.

Your new school includes the following facilities:

  • 3 learning neighbourhoods
  • administration building
  • outdoor play courts
  • performing arts and physical education building
  • sports field.

Wunggurrwil Dhurrung Centre is located next to the school. This may help local children make a smooth transition from preschool and reduce the number of drop-offs for some parents with kinder and school-aged children.

For more enrolment information, please contact the school on 9742 8800.

Further information on the school, including enrolment, can be found on its official Facebook page.

Supported Inclusion

This is a supported inclusion school. This school has specialised facilities and capabilities designed to accommodate students with disabilities.

School Name

Riverbend Primary School was originally known by the interim name of Wollahra Primary School while it was being planned and built. Riverbend Primary School was chosen as the school name following community consultation and discussions with Geographic Names Victoria, with consideration given to factors including public interest, relevance to the local area, and the consideration of local Indigenous languages.

The school is named after the nearby Riverbend Historical Park.

We consulted with local communities for 3 weeks from Wednesday 24 June to Wednesday 15 July 2020. Thank you for your input.
