Kilmore’s St Patrick’s Primary School is set to receive $25,000 of Federal Government funding to upgrade school infrastructure and equipment.
The school will purchase and upgrade information communications technology, ICT, equipment and repair its facilities with the money, which came through the latest round of the Schools Upgrade Fund – a $250 million commitment to improve school infrastructure across Australia.
Member for McEwen Rob Mitchell said all local schools deserved quality infrastructure and equipment to help students achieve their best.
“The government is investing in a better and fairer education system and this is terrific news for our local schools with more to come,” he said.
“This is a great outcome and I’m happy that we can deliver this funding to much-needed projects for our local schools.”
All schools across Australia were invited to apply for the funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on necessity.
Schools could apply for grants of up to $25,000 to support improvements to facilities and learning environments.
