The ACT government is seeking feedback on what the new school should be called as well as designs for the uniform and logo.

The five name options are Isabel Coe School, Ngingali Cullen School, Evelyn Scott School, Arnold Hunter School, and John Budby School.

Four design concepts inspired by the natural habitat of the region have been put forward for consideration: rolling hills, sunrise over Molonglo, tree bark monogram and the Australian Reed-Warbler.

Community members can vote on their favourite name, logo and uniform for the school at yoursay.act.gov.au/new-school-molonglo

The $47 million primary school will be open for the 2021 school year and cater for 644 preschool to year 6 students.

The $23 million secondary school is scheduled to open in 2023 with a capacity of 600 year 7 to 10 students.

These are the five options for names for the school, and who they are named after.
