St John the Apostle Primary School Tarneit is a new Prep to 6 primary school in Melbourne’s western growth corridor. The master plan was developed through extensive consultation with the Project Steering Committee with representatives from the parish, community & Catholic Education Melbourne.

The school has been designed for 21st Century learning with the child at the centre of our thinking. This gives the community opportunity to feel part of the school and engage in the day to day activities. The building has been designed to sit within the landscape enabling the children to learn both inside and outside by engaging with the natural environment.

Key sustainability initiatives in the design includes a thermally efficient building fabric with good access to natural light & ventilation, hydronic heating, night purge system for summer cooling, solar panels, LED light fittings, rainwater collection for toilet flushing and landscape irrigation, swales and future vegetable gardens.
