Olivine's schools, childcare centre, kindergarten and the Hume Anglican Grammar which is Donnybrook's only secondary school, makes sure our youngest residents have access to the very best start in life, thanks to state-of-the-art campuses and diverse modern spaces to learn and grow.
Olivine is home to Hume Anglican Grammar, the only secondary school in Donnybrook. Opened in 2019, the modern Donnybrook Campus of this highly regarded independent school nurtures the ambitions of bright young minds. Currently open to Year 8 in 2024 and Year 9 in 2025.
For bubs and early learners, Olivine's Wallaby Childcare centre and Eucalyptus Parade Kindergarten offer learning and play. A new modular kindergarten next to Donnybrook Primary with up to 99 places for local kids plus community spaces.
Welcoming its first class in 2023, Donnybrook Primary School is an impressive space, complete with library, science and food tech classrooms, music and drama spaces, and a competition-grade gym.
Olivine proudly partners with Prace to offer lifelong learning, and boosts language, literacy and employability with courses in conversational English, bookkeeping, construction and teaching.
Olivine embraces the established beauty of its natural surrounds, preserving its environment for new generations. Here, you can find calm under the shade of 200-year-old River Red Gums, or stroll through wetlands and along waterways that come alive with the sound of birds in the trees, cicadas singing and young explorers at play
This nature-inspired playground features three giant towers leading to gum nut-shaped climbing pods, connected by mesh tunnels and two mega slides. Enjoy two flying foxes, a toddler area with a sandpit slide, in-ground trampolines, an extensive wooden climbing frame, a charming gum nut cubby, a basketball court, skate/BMX ramps, and a spacious undercover picnic area. It's truly a sight to behold.
Olivine's shared pedestrian and cycle paths will link neighbourhood parks and active spaces to schools and the Town Centre, as well as connecting with the popular Merri Creek trail.
From Cycad Park to Compass Park to conservated areas and wetland, Olivine's green spaces take many forms. Perfect for a quiet moment or fun family play.
Sheltered picnic areas with barbeques and shared dining tables, the pavilions have been designed with alfresco family feasts and neighbourhood get togethers in mind.
