 * DALLAS BROOKS COMMUNITY**



Dallas Primary School and Kindergarten and Upfield Primary School were part of the Broadmeadows School Regeneration Project. On 1st January 2011, the two schools merged to form one school, Dallas Brooks Community Primary School. During 2011 and 2012, Dallas Brooks Community Primary School operated across both sites until the completion of the new school buildings on the former Upfield Secondary College site in King Street, Dallas.

A visual tour of the new school site is available on the architect’s website (http://www.mcbridecharlesryan.com.au/#/news/ ) or you can view the plans by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.
