(Media-Newswire.com) - Permanent buildings will replace relocatable facilities at Upper Plenty Primary School after the Brumby Government announced funding of $2 million for the project in this year’s State Budget.
Visiting the school today, Education Minister Bronwyn Pike said education remains the Government’s number 1 priority, that’s why the Brumby Labor Government is taking action - rebuilding every school in every community across Victoria.
“The new permanent facilities at Upper Plenty will include classrooms, administration areas and student toilets,” Ms Pike said.
“Upper Plenty Primary students deserve to go to a school with modern facilities where they can learn to their full potential.”
Ms Pike said Upper Plenty was one of nine small rural schools funded in the Budget to receive new, permanent buildings.
“This is a fantastic result for the local community and demonstrates the Brumby Government’s commitment to set a standard of excellence across the education system to ensure all children get the best start in life,” said local member Ben Hardman.
