Today I am announcing that two Central Coast schools in the Shortland electorate will benefit from a share of $32 million in grants to upgrade school infrastructure and equipment.
Northlakes Public School will receive $21,400 to assist in refurbishing classrooms and Northlakes High School will receive $25,000 to build new outdoor learning spaces.
The funding is part of a $250 million commitment to improve school infrastructure.
All schools across the country were invited to apply for the funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on need.
Schools were able to apply for grants of up to $25,000 to support much needed improvements to facilities and learning environments.
The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on our promise to invest in our schools and there is more to come.
Quotes attributable to Pat Conroy MP, Member for Shortland:
“Our local schools deserve great infrastructure and quality equipment to help students achieve their best.
“I am proud to be part of a government that is investing in a better and fairer education system and I look forward to continuing to work with local schools on the Central Coast and the community to deliver more funding for great local projects.
“This is a great outcome and I’m happy that we can deliver this funding to much-needed projects for Central Coast schools.”
