This isn’t merely the opening of a new building; it signifies the arrival of a vibrant centre for learning and growth, thoughtfully woven into the very fabric of the life we cherish here.

Unity Park has always been envisioned as a place where families can flourish. The arrival of Barayip Primary is a landmark moment, bringing this vision closer to reality and solidifying Unity Park as a truly complete community designed with every generation in mind. The presence of a state-of-the-art school right on the doorstep marks a significant step in the evolution of Unity Park creating a thriving, sustainable neighbourhood.

Inside Barayip Primary: A Place for Young Minds to Thrive

Step through the doors of Barayip Primary, and you’ll discover an environment meticulously designed to spark curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of learning. “Barayip,” a word from the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners language meaning ‘meeting place’ or ‘gathering’. This beautiful name perfectly encapsulates the school’s future role, not just as a place of education, but as a central hub where families connect, friendships blossom, and the community comes together. This state-of-the-art facility, delivered by the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) as part of the government’s commitment to supporting growing communities like ours, represents the very best in modern educational design. Parents can feel confident knowing that because the school was constructed under the VSBA’s oversight, it adheres to high standards for safety accessibility, and effective learning spaces, ensuring a quality environment for their children.

Inside, bright, flexible learning spaces are equipped to deliver a contemporary curriculum, preparing students for the future. The school features a dedicated ‘learning neighbourhood’ building, alongside spaces specifically designed for specialist subjects, hinting at a rich educational offering that could encompass everything from science and technology to the arts. Complementing the learning areas are a modern administration building and fantastic outdoor facilities, including hardcourts perfect for sports and games.

One of the most thoughtful inclusions is the kindergarten located right on the same site. This co-location is a game-changer for busy families. This practical design element significantly reduces daily logistical hurdles, freeing up precious time for families and making the morning routine smoother.

Adding further convenience for working parents, Barayip Primary School partners with Kelly Club to provide on-site before and after-school care. Operating from early morning (6:45 am) until evening (6:30 pm), Kelly Club offers a safe, supportive, and fun “home away from home” environment right within the school grounds. Children can participate in a variety of activities, including sports, games, arts and crafts, baking, and even get help with homework. With trained staff, healthy snacks provided, and flexible booking options, it’s designed to seamlessly extend the school day. As a Child Care Subsidy (CCS) approved provider, eligible families can also receive significant fee reductions, making quality care more accessible.

School Just a Few Steps Away: Unbeatable Convenience

One of the most celebrated features of Barayip Primary is its incredible proximity to the homes within Unity Park. This walkability transforms the daily routine from a stressful chore into a pleasant, active part of the day.

The benefits extend far beyond simple convenience.

That’s more time for breakfast together, helping with homework, or simply enjoying family life.

Growing Together: School and Community Hand-in-Hand

The school naturally encourages parental involvement, offering volunteering opportunities and events that bring residents together with a shared purpose. It provides a natural focal point for community activities, strengthening the bonds between families and fostering a powerful sense of collective identity.
