Labor Will Complete Werribee SC
Victorian Labor will finish the redevelopment of Werribee Secondary College.
Labor’s $7 million commitment will go to completing the third stage of the school’s redevelopment after it was indefinitely delayed under the Napthine Government.
Parents, teachers and students at Werribee have been waiting too long.
Under Denis Napthine, our schools are falling apart and our kids are falling behind.
The rebuild at Werribee Secondary College started under the previous Labor Government but has been ignored by the Napthine Liberal Government for almost four years.
The local school community – from students, parents and teachers to the Committee for Wyndham – have run a strong community campaign and Victorian Labor has listened.
