Mernda & Doreen Residen 3812Jan 17, 2012 8:37 pm Search is on for school site in Mernda, Doreen BY MEAGAN WEYMES 16 Jan, 2012 01:00 AM THE state government is looking to purchase a site for a new primary school in Mernda or Doreen to cope with population growth in the area. The new primary school site would be in addition to a site already purchased for a future secondary school on Cookes Road in Doreen. The move comes as Laurimar Primary School in Dooreen is expect to have about 800 students enrolled in 2012, just three years after the school opened. At the start of last year 560 students were enrolled. Many of them were accommodated in temporary classrooms erected on the school oval. The school's principal, Darryl Furze, has repeatedly called for a new school to be built in the area. Education department spokesman Stuart Teather said the department had identified the need for both a new primary and secondary school to accommodate population growth in Doreen and Mernda. "The Victorian government has already purchased a site for the secondary school in 2011, and is looking to purchase an appropriate site for the primary school," he said. Mr Teather said the department had considered a number of sites for the school but would not say whether the old Mernda Primary School site had been considered. The government has still made no formal commitment to building a new secondary or primary school. Australian Education Union Victorian branch vice-president Justin Mullaly said the growth in enrolments at other primary schools in Mernda and Doreen showed there was a pressing need to build a new school. Mr Mullaly said the AEU had not been formally notified of the intention to buy land for a new school but said that was to be expected so early in the process. "We were aware it was on the cards in a general sense," he said. Mr Mullaly said it usually took at least 24 months to set up a new school. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up! Mernda & Doreen Residen 3813Jan 18, 2012 1:43 pm guys, hows the weather in mernda been since this morning? we are having our slab poured today. We heard in weather forecast that there's going to be quite a bit of rain. Where i work, i.e. east, has had little to no rain since this morning. I am just hoping that it's the same in mernda. The last thing we need is pouring rain while the concrete is poured. thanks in advanced for any 'weather updates'. Re: Ladies and Gents, step right up!
