EXTRA LEARNING SPACES COMING TO WERRIBEE SCHOOLS
Students at Wyndham Central College and Manor Lakes P-12 College will soon get a state-of-the-art, double-storey relocatable classroom to meet growing student enrolments, thanks to the Andrews Labor Government.
Member for Werribee Tim Pallas announced that the two schools will receive a modern, double-storey relocatable building, to offer flexibility to manage enrolment growth for the 2022 school year.
The relocatable buildings come complete with double-glazed windows, improved thermal insulation to reduce heat loss, acoustic insulation to reduce internal noise reverberation, and are built to an energy-efficient design.
The Labor Government allocated $114 million through the Victorian Budget 2021/22 to the Relocatable Buildings Program.
In the past seven years, the Government has invested more than $10.9 billion in building new schools and more than 1,700 school upgrades, creating around 13,500 jobs in construction and associated industries.
It is now ahead of schedule in its commitment to open 100 new schools by 2026, with 62 new schools opening between 2019 and 2024.
The Government is building the Education State so that every student can access a great local school and a quality education.
