Drouin ELC Official Opening

St Paul’s Anglican Grammar School marked a historic milestone on Friday 7 November with the official opening and dedication of its Early Learning Centre in Drouin.

The ceremony, held on the school’s picturesque 36-acre campus, was led by St Paul’s Principal, Mr Cameron Herbert, with The Right Reverend Dr Richard Treloar, Anglican Bishop of Gippsland, conducting the dedication.

The Drouin Campus, which opened earlier this year, expands St Paul’s to three campuses and includes a new kindergarten and primary school catering for students from Pre-Kinder (three-year-old kinder) to Year 3 in 2025 and will reach Year 6 by 2027.

Its elevated location on the Melbourne side of Drouin, just minutes from the M1 freeway, provides an inspiring setting for learning and play.

The Early Learning Centre was made possible through a $2 million contribution from the Victorian School Building Authority, Department of Education. The purpose-built facility features four bright, open classrooms and outdoor play spaces that blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural landscape, encouraging exploration, creativity and wellbeing.

With more than 20 years since a new school was last built in the area, the St Paul’s Drouin Campus represents a significant and much-needed addition to the local community.
