Historical information

Tottenham North State School opened in 1953 on South Road, Braybrook and operated for 40 years before closing in 1993.

The school was built to serve the rapidly growing post war housing estates of Braybrook, Tottenham, and Maidstone. The school relieved pressure on the nearby Footscray West State School and Tottenham State School (later Tottenham Primary School).

In 1970, the Victorian Education Department standardised naming with the term “State School” being replaced by “Primary School”, thus the school became Tottenham North Primary School.

The school later merged with Tottenham Primary School to form Tottenham Crossing Primary School, and in the 2010’s eventually became part of Dinjerra Primary School.
