Your centre's name

In consultation with Dja Dja Wurrung Traditional Owners, Early Learning Victoria Dupitjin has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at Wedderburn College. Dupitjin is a Dja Dja Wurrung word which is the original name of the place.

During the planning, design, and construction phases, the centre was known by its interim name, Early Learning Victoria Wedderburn.
