October 19th, 2025New kinder in Bendigo
Construction is underway on a new kindergarten in Bendigo.
Premier and Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan turned the first sod on the new Kennington Primary School Kindergarten, which will create up to 178 new kinder places.
Kennington Primary School Kindergarten will include three kindergarten rooms with space for up to 99 children at once when it opens in Term 1 next year.
The state government is building a kindergarten on or next to every new primary school – helping children transition smoothly to school, reducing travel times and easing cost of living pressures for busy families.
More than 145,000 children and their families are saving up to $2,600 per child each year through the Free Kinder program, which is available at 97 per cent of kinder programs across the state.
