In an exciting development for our community, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) has acquired 3.1 hectares of land, paving the way for the establishment of a brand-new Catholic primary school. This exciting addition is set to cater to the educational needs of our rapidly growing community, situated on the corner of Sentinel Parade and Clara Avenue. With plans for a total of three schools within the community, this news underscores the commitment to providing quality education in a convenient and central location.

Already home to 900 families & upon completion 4,400, it's clear that the demand for educational facilities is on the rise. Recognizing this need, MACS has taken an important step in enhancing the community's infrastructure. MACS will be constructing the new school, with plans for it to open its doors in 2026. This timeline aligns perfectly with the community's projected growth, ensuring that educational needs will be met as the population continues to expand.

As the population of Mt. Atkinson continues to grow, this school will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the community, offering families a convenient and central location for their children's education. With its anticipated opening in 2026, the countdown to this exciting educational opportunity has begun, and the future of Mt. Atkinson looks even brighter.
