A 10ha parcel of land at Eyre has been earmarked for new $155.3 million secondary campus to cater for the region’s growing population.
A new public secondary school will be built on a vacant block of land at the corner of Andrews and Petherton roads in the northern suburb of Eyre.
Due for completion in 2028, the new state-of-the-art campus will have capacity for 1300 students across years 7-12, helping to support the region’s growing population.
This follows $15 million being dedicated to Virginia Primary School and Preschool to address capacity pressures and ensure the buildings are equipped to support modern learning.
A further $62.7 million has been allocated to construct a new preschool at Mount Barker, providing 100 places, along with a new primary school that will have capacity for students.
The preschool and school are also expected to open in 2028.

The development comes as the State Government locks in a policy of land preservation of key infrastructure including schools, hospitals and transport corridors, through the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (GARP).
The GARP details 82,000 new homes will be built in the Outer North over the next 30 years.
Construction of the new school at Eyre is due to begin later this year.
