Everton and Oxley schools receive federal funding
“Everton and Oxley Primary Schools will finally be able to upgrade their facilities thanks to major contributions from the Howard Government’s Investing In Our Schools programme,” Sophie Mirabella, the Federal Member for Indi, said today.
Everton Primary School will receive $36,747 to build an Outdoor Learning Area, and two General Classrooms.
Oxley Primary School will receive $95,982 to build new Sheds and Storage Facilities.
“These two projects, which are desperately needed by both schools, were identified by the respective school communities as being critical to their school. They represent two of the eight schools in the Wangaratta region to receive funding from the latest round of Investing In Our Schools Programme. Thirty-two schools across the electorate of Indi will also receive funding to projects worth a total value of $1,550,817.”
“As part of the latest round of the Investing In Our Schools Programme, it brings the total funding to schools in the Indi electorate from this programme alone to over $10 million. This is in addition to the significant support that local schools also receive from the Howard Government in the form of larger capital grants and other programmes.”
“These two projects, although often desperately needed by schools, never seem to make it onto Melbourne-focused State Labor Government priority lists. Rather, school communities usually face the long and arduous task of raising the necessary funding themselves.”
Unfortunately, the Melbourne-focused State Labor Government has failed to make a contribution towards either project.
“These two projects will enhance the learning opportunities for local children, and is further evidence of the Howard Government’s commitment to investing in our education system for the future.”
“It is only possible to invest in schools like this due to the responsible management of the economy, which allows the Howard Government to invest in important infrastructure projects to give our children the best possible learning experience.”
