New schools for “rapidly growing suburbs”

THE WA State Government is investing more than $55 million in three new primary schools to cater for growing populations in Perth’s outer suburbs.

Construction of Baldivis North (South East) Primary School, Banksia Grove East Primary School and Caversham South Primary School will begin this year, ahead of opening for kindergarten to Year 6 students in 2020.

The $16m, 430-student Baldivis North (South East) Primary School will incorporate first-class art and music facilities.

Construction on the $22 million,

540-student Banksia Grove East primary school will begin this year with the school to fully open in 2020. The $17.3 million primary school in Caversham South will have capacity for

430 students and will relieve pressure on nearby Caversham Primary School.
