Two Wyndham Vale primary schools will receive a funding boost from the state government.
Our Lady of the Southern Cross and a new Catholic primary school to be built in Wyndham Vale are among 65 schools to share in more than $243 million in state government funding.
Our Lady of the Southern Cross Primary School will receive $3.4 million for the construction of a discovery centre, library, two general learning areas, covered outdoor learning deck, landscaping, and associated works.
The new Wyndham Vale Catholic primary school will receive $6 million for the construction of stage one of the primary school, including general learning areas, administration, amenities, and associated works.
These projects are being delivered through the Catholic stream of the government’s building fund for non-government schools.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said the funding would support Catholic schools to expand, build new classrooms and open new campuses
“Thousands of Victorian kids go to a low-fee Catholic school every day – and we’re making sure those kids are learning in the best environments,” he said.
Werribee MP Tim Pallas said the projects would mean Wyndham teachers have the best facilities to give their students the best education.
