Construction is underway on Madora Bay's new $25.7 million primary school.

Premier Mark McGowan, Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery and Mandurah MLA David Templeman visited the construction site on Tuesday to turn the first sod at the future Madora Bay Primary School (planning name).

When complete, the primary school will accommodate 650 students from Kindergarten to Year 6 in state-of-the-art learning facilities.

Future students and staff will benefit from a dedicated Kindergarten and Pre-primary block, administration block with dental therapy facilities, and two double-storey general classroom blocks.

The school will also feature a general learning block with an inclusive education classroom and an art and science room.

Other new facilities include a covered assembly area, music room, oval, hardball courts and cricket nets.

The school was designed by Carabiner Pty Ltd and will be built by Universal Constructions Pty Ltd.

It is due to open its doors to students in 2023.

"I fought hard to secure this school and I am excited that another school in Mandurah will be constructed by the McGowan Government," Mandurah MLA David Templeman said.

"It's important for local students to have access to a world-class education here in WA and that includes access to high-quality facilities like this new primary school.

"Madora Bay is a rapidly growing area with many young families and this new primary school will be a fantastic addition to the local area."
