Located within the Catholic Parish of Drouin, the new St Oscar Romero Catholic Primary School will be the second Catholic Primary School in the Parish.

Located near the corner of Illawarra Boulevard and Weebar Road, Drouin, the School is planned to accommodate a long-term enrolment of 400 to 450 students.

The School has Victorian Government Funding support of $12m in total towards Stages 1 and 2 and is anticipated to open in 2027

The School is planned to accommodate a long-term enrolment of 400 to 450 students.

It is anticipated that the School will be developed in phases:

• Stage 1 shall provide for the delivery of five general learning areas, administration, staffing facilities, a multi-purpose space, an external hard court and associated spaces.

• Stage 2 provides for the provision of seven general learning areas, amenities and associated spaces.

The naming of the School is linked to, and inspired by, the life and mission of St Oscar Romero. Oscar Romero was the former Archbishop of San Salvador, who was assassinated in 1980 for being an outspoken champion for the poor and oppressed. Romero’s Sainthood occurred in 2018 and helps to remind us of the message of peace and reconciliation, justice and mercy for all.
