Three Catholic schools will be built in Melbourne’s outer north if Labor is re-elected at next month’s state election.
Labor has pledged to spend $717 million to support low-fee independent and Catholic schools across the state if it wins government.
A new campus of Kolbe College will be built on Donnybrook Road, Mickleham in the Craigieburn Parish. The school will open in 2026
New Catholic primary schools will open in Wollert in the Epping Parish and Greenvale (Roxburgh Park Parish) in 2025.
Premier Daniel Andrews said: “We’ll make sure wherever you choose to send your kids to school they have access to first-rate facilities.
“We know many families with children at low-fee schools scrimp and save to make ends meet – that’s why we’ll continue to support the Catholic and independent sector to deliver great local schools.”
