A New Era at Surrey Downs

Surrey Downs Primary School is entering an exciting new chapter, with a $16.5 million site redevelopment now underway—designed to support the future of education and our thriving school community. This transformation is a significant investment in our students, staff, and families, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming.

What’s on the way:

Our redevelopment includes the construction of a brand-new, purpose-built learning facility that will deliver:

  • Modern, flexible learning spaces designed for collaboration, creativity, and inclusion

  • Improved accessibility and safety across the entire site

  • Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces that connect learning with nature

  • A centralised hub bringing wellbeing, administration, and support services together

Our redevelopment is more than just bricks and mortar—it’s a commitment to delivering an outstanding, inclusive, and future-ready education for every child.

Come and be part of something exciting at Surrey Downs!

"From the moment our family joined Surrey Downs Primary School, we felt welcomed and supported. The staff genuinely care about each child, not just academically but emotionally and socially too. We've seen our child grow in confidence, resilience, and kindness—all thanks to the school’s nurturing environment and focus on strong values like respect and empathy. We love that the school teaches not just 'what' to learn, but 'how' to be a good person. It's a community we're proud to be part of."
