About

The Northern Territory Government fast-tracked construction of the new government school to cater for enrolment demand in Palmerston, the Territory’s fastest growing region.

When fully operational, the new school will have capacity for 430 primary students and 88 preschoolers.

Construction on Stage Two of Zuccoli Primary school in Palmerston is currently underway with Stage One completed December 2019 and open to students from Term 1, 2020.

The new school provides quality, contemporary learning spaces that ensure young children are engaged and are receiving the best possible start towards a bright future.

Zuccoli Primary school will share the site with Mother Teresa Catholic Primary school. Both schools will utilise shared facilities such as the oval, air-conditioned hall, library, home economics and science rooms.

The shared facilities are funded by the Northern Territory Government and will be completed as part of Stage Two of the project.
