Communities across Victoria are encouraged to have their say in naming the new schools opening in their area in 2023, as consultation on the new names for 12 new schools the Andrews Labor Government is opening in 2023 gets underway.

Minister for Education James Merlino today opened an online survey giving local communities the chance to have their say on their preferred name for their new neighbourhood school.

The Labor Government is seeking the community’s input to help find a name for the school that reflects its unique identity, inspires local pride and makes the school easily locatable.

Have your say on the new Manor Lakes primary school, Holyoake Primary School (interim name).

The shortlisted names for each school were identified by Regional Advisory and Traditional Owners groups, based on factors including public interest, relevance to the local area, and the consideration of local Indigenous languages.
