Background

Aintree Primary School is located on 3.5 hectares of land at 11 Timbertop Parade, Aintree 3336 (Local Government Area of Melton). The school opened for enrolments in F
- 6 year levels in Term 1, 2021. The school has a current enrolment of 1000 students which will continue to increase, with growth expected over the next 4

The school belongs to the successful Brimbank/Melton Network of Schools which includes three other new Government schools alongside well-established and thriving schools across primary, secondary, Specialist, P-9 and Senior Secondary.
