flag Melbourne schools face strain as rapid growth from high-density housing overwhelms capacity, despite funding and new school plans.

flag Melbourne’s inner-city schools are under strain from rapid population growth fueled by high-density housing, especially near transit hubs like Arden station. flag Enrolments at schools such as Kerrimuir Primary and Box Hill High have nearly doubled, forcing some to use modular classrooms and temporary spaces. flag Despite $411 million in state funding and plans for a new school in Arden, expansion is delayed by limited space, high construction costs, and policies restricting land purchases unless schools are at capacity. flag Education officials acknowledge that rising numbers of families in high-rises have outpaced planning, leaving many schools struggling to adapt.
