Murrum Primary School is a new government school which opened in 2026, located on wurundjeri country at 90 Elpis Rd, Weir Views, 3338. Murrum is the indigenous wurundjeri word for 'joeys'. The establishment of this new school in the Melton community supports the increasing enrolment demand from a growing local population. Our location is unique in that the suburb has been developing over several years prior to the school opening, and is relatively close to the bustling CBD of Melton and therefore provides easy access to local community services.

Murrum Primary School has places for up to 715 students with enrolments open from Foundation to Year 6. Murrum PS is a Supported Inclusion School providing up to 65 places for students with a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability within the total enrolment. This provides a unique opportunity to open another local school in the Melton community that provides high-quality education for local students, strengthening the already established education provision in this growth area.

The school includes:

- An administration and library building with spaces for art, science and food technology
- 3 learning neighbourhoods (including a 2-storey neighbourhood) and Mod 10
- Hard courts and a sports field
- A gymnasium/performing arts/community hub building.

Murrum Primary School is co-located with an Early Learning Centre that will provide long day and Three-and Four-Year Old Kindergarten programs, supporting families with care needs and a smoother transition to primary school. The Victorian Government-owned centre is run by Early Learning Victoria and provides another unique opportunity of building a professional relationship that strengthens the learning of all students.
