Phase 1

2026
Breaking Ground

The first phase of Dorot Village begins — constructing the school building with classrooms and an aquatic centre that will serve the whole community.

What We're Building

The School & Kineret Pool

Phase 1 breaks ground on the new Kineret Tamim Academy school building — a purpose-built home for Victoria's first Jewish day school. The building will include state-of-the-art classrooms and a beautiful aquatic centre open to the entire community.

This phase is the foundation of everything — once the school building is complete, the preschool can move in and Phase 2 can begin immediately.

A state-of-the-art aquatic centre featuring a main pool with dedicated zones for swim lessons, lap swimming, and seniors' aqua fitness.

Children's Pool

A dedicated kiddie pool with water features — a joyful, safe space for the youngest members of our community to learn and play.

Ctots Entry & Nap Room

A beautiful, purpose-designed entry and rest space for the Ctots Childhood Education Centre — warm, safe, and child-centred.

Shared Grounds

The outdoor spaces connecting all buildings — beginning to take shape as the foundation of Dorot Village's multigenerational community life.

Community Access

The pool and common areas will be open to the broader Victoria community, making Phase 1 an asset for everyone from day one.
