Facilities Upgrade Grant awarded to our school

Throughout this year, our School Council have been engaging in a lengthy grant application with the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA). 

We are pleased to say that, in the final week of December 2024, our school was informed that we have received a significant financial grant to upgrade and refurbish the breezeway toilets. Whilst this is an exciting outcome for our school, we must be mindful that the project will be VSBA managed (with school input) and is part of a series of grants across the state of Victoria. 

Indicative timelines indicate that building works will occur at some stage in late 2025. 

We will keep our community informed of progress, as information is provided to the school.
