Hume Anglican Grammar is excited to announce plans to build a fourth campus in Wollert.
Located within 20 minutes of each of the school’s three existing campuses, the announcement of a Wollert Prep to 12 campus represents another significant milestone in the school’s history. With construction scheduled to begin in 2032, the fourth campus reflects Hume’s long-term vision and dedication to providing outstanding independent education for families in Melbourne’s growing and diverse northern community.
Principal Bill Sweeney said the announcement signals a new chapter for Hume Anglican Grammar.
“The new campus will expand our capacity to provide the high-quality, values-driven education for which Hume Anglican Grammar is known. While construction is some years away, we are committed to sharing this vision now so that families, staff and our community may be part of the journey ahead,“ he said.
In partnership with developers, Cedar Woods Properties and AVID Property Group, the decision to provide a fourth campus in the residential estate of Mason Quarter has been driven by a combination of factors. The Wollert community is growing rapidly, with a projected population of around 35,000 residents by 2041, consisting mostly of young families. This expansion, coupled with feedback from current community members and the school’s commitment to provide affordable independent education to as many children as possible, means the new campus will be ideally located in the suburb’s centre. Its location will be near supermarkets, community services, such as a library and indoor leisure centre, and other facilities intended to build on the foundations of an already vibrant community.
The Wollert Campus will be built in stages on the 10-hectare parcel of land and, once completed, will be the largest of the four with a capacity of around 2,500 students. It is expected to commence offering the junior primary year levels. Starting with secondary is possible depending upon demand.
Further details regarding the timeline and enrolment opportunities will be shared as planning continues. Families and community members are encouraged to visit the school’s website to stay up-to-date, and to attend one of Hume Anglican Grammar’s Discovery Tours, run regularly at the campuses in Donnybrook, Kalkallo and Mickleham, to learn what a Hume education has to offer.
