Merrifield has finalised the sale of land to the Roman Catholic Trust Corporation for the Diocese of Melbourne to establish a new Catholic primary school in Merrifield.

The Catholic primary school site is positioned on the corner of St Georges Boulevard and Blackmore Road – and will form a centrally located hub of community facilities for Merrifield residents – including the future sporting reserve, community centre and state primary and secondary schools.

The timing for delivery of the Catholic primary school remains dependent on a range of factors, including the rate of population growth within the catchment, however we currently anticipate that it could be open as early as 2022.

The vision for Merrifield is to create a sustainable way of life for residents, with a strong focus on lifelong learning options within our city.  More information in relation to the education opportunities planned in Merrifield are expected to be announced in the coming months.
