Architectural renders of two new Victorian tech schools have been revealed, giving students a glimpse of what to expect when they are completed in 2026.
Brimbank Tech School will be located at Victoria University’s Sunshine campus, while Dandenong Tech School will be established at Chisholm Institute’s Dandenong campus.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education, Ben Carroll said students will receive free bus transportation from their schools, to participate in immersive high-tech programs at their local Tech School. Unlike the tech schools of the past, these new training opportunities will be offered alongside regular schooling, so students don’t have to choose between the two, he said.
“We are backing students to learn beyond the classroom, keeping them engaged and building the vital STEM skills they need for the jobs of tomorrow.”
“Victoria’s Tech Schools provide unique learning environments that inspire students to pursue STEM study and career pathways, and the education centres we’re delivering in Brimbank and Dandenong will be no exception,” said Mr Carroll.
Brimbank Tech School will provide 14,000 students from 14 local secondary schools with immersive, hands-on STEM learning experiences to develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the jobs of tomorrow.
Up to 120 local students will be able to access Brimbank Tech School’s programs each day.
Dandenong Tech School will provide 13,500 students from 23 local secondary schools with inspiring, innovative, and hands-on STEM learning experiences.
Brimbank and Dandenong Tech Schools are two of six new Tech Schools being rolled out across the state, with the first of these – Frankston Tech School – on track to welcome students next term.
The Tech Schools in Brimbank and Dandenong will be completed in the second half of 2026, along with Tech Schools in Hume, Wangaratta and Warrnambool.
