The new St Oscar Romero Catholic Primary School is planned to open in 2027 and will be the second Catholic Primary School in the Parish of Drouin, 

Located at 94 Weebar Road, the School is planned to accommodate a long-term enrolment of 300 to 350 students.

The School has Victorian Government Funding support of $12m towards Stages 1 and 2, with construction commencing in January 2026.

Stage 1 and Stage 2 are being constructed simultaneously and will be interconnected.

Stage 1 will comprise of: administration area with offices, three general learning areas, art room and library, learning terraces, staff facilities, staff, and student amenities.

Stage 2 will comprise of: seven general learning areas, two multipurpose spaces, learning terraces, staff, and student amenities.

External works for both stages will include a fully fenced school site, carparking, undercover hard courts, oval, playgrounds, extensive landscaping.

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.
