Riverwalk Primary School

We built a new primary school in Werribee. The school will help ease enrolment pressures for surrounding schools, and meet demand from a growing population.​

The school includes a performing arts and physical education building, and administration areas.

We also built a kinder on site. It 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.

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

Supported inclusion school

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

School name

The school was originally known by the interim name of Wyndham South (Riverwalk) Primary School while it was being planned and built.

The school is located in the 'Riverwalk Estate'. Its new name reflects this location and pays tribute to the nearby Werribee River.

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.
