About the project
We’re building a new primary school in Wollert. It will open day one of Term 1 in 2025 and help the growing local population get great education close to home.
We’re building the school in stages. We're focusing on key buildings for day 1, Term 1 2025, that will cater for the school’s enrolments. The rest of the school is expected to be completed by Term 3, 2025.
The school is open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6. It will be able to enrol up to 525 students when the school is complete. You can find out if you're in the school enrolment zone by entering your address at findmyschool.vic.gov.au.

Your new school’s name
Wirrigirri Primary School was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Wirrigirri (pronounced werry-jerry) is a Woi-wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people meaning messenger.
We used Wollert Central Primary School as an interim name while the school was being planned, designed, and built.
