Romsey Primary School

We upgraded Romsey Primary School with modern teaching and learning environments.

We transformed buildings into multifunction spaces and a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) centre. The works also addressed the school's maintenance issues, provided landscaping, and added extra lighting to the carpark.

School provision

In our planning, we investigated the possibility of expanding the primary school to a P–9 school. This included consulting the community to explore the potential benefits and concerns raised by the P–9 option, as well as factors that influence secondary school choice and access for local students.

The research found there are not enough students in the Romsey area to offer a broad, quality Year 7–9 curriculum at the primary school or a local standalone Years 7–12 secondary school, in the short or medium term. The Victorian Government will continue to closely monitor population changes to ensure Romsey families have sufficient quality primary and secondary education options.

Community engagement

In October 2018, we consulted with the community from Romsey and the surrounding Macedon Ranges to gain feedback about factors influencing secondary school access and choice for local students. The consultation also explored the potential benefits and concerns raised by a possible P–9 option.

Overall, the consultation findings did not establish clear support for expanding Romsey Primary School to P–9. While some were in favour of expanding Romsey Primary School to P–9, significant numbers responded ‘no’ or ‘not sure’.
