The ABC News reported today that the "end of the beginning" for the Kyneton Education Plan, [a project that the Central Ranges LLEN has been supporting and participating in since 2007], occured last night, with the primary and secondary schools of Kyneton in central Victoria voting in favour of merging. The ABC reports that;

Both school councils met last night and decided to approve the change.

The two schools will join with the kindergarten and create a school of about 1,100 students.

Architects will now draw up a master plan for a site next to the high school.

The high school's principal, Glenn Davey, says the new school will be better for students.

"It's very important for us in terms of teaching and learning," he said.

"We're aiming for what we call a stages of learning model, where it's kindergarten to grade four, years five to nine, and years 10 to 12."
