Construction is under way on the newest school helping cater for Melton South’s booming population growth.
St Lawrence of Brindisi – a new Catholic primary school opening in the Weir Views estate at the start of next year – will be led by Bill Hill, a principal with an extensive track record across schools in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Mr Hill identified building strong community partnerships as one of his most important jobs, reflecting his belief that active involvement of the community has a great impact on the culture and educational outcomes of a school.
“St Lawrence will be a place of welcome and nurture; a school where every face has a place and is valued,” he said.

THE WINTER OLYMPICS
This is an opportunity to show what we stand for
Your measured editorial (″China can’t avoid the Olympics torchlight″, 19/4) raised some pivotal points regarding how a nation such as Australia – with its ingrained social values of the dignity of the individual, freedom of speech, the rule of law and open government – might possibly participate in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
An arson chemist will visit the scene of three grass fires in Melton South today as police search for witnesses to the blazes which broke out over the weekend.
Police are investigating the series of small grass fires which were reported to emergency services between 3.30pm on Saturday and 8.30am on Sunday.
The fires were all lit alongside a walking track parallel to Toolern Creek, according to police.
The fires were within 300-400 metres of one another, police said.
The first fire came to the attention of emergency services after police spotted a large plume of smoke across the Western Freeway near Tamar Drive.
