The Allan Labor Government is continuing to deliver funding to ensure students in the Electorate of Northcote get the first-class facilities they deserve, supporting better learning outcomes with upgrades and maintenance.
The Member for Northcote, Kat Theophanous, today congratulated Pender’s Grove Primary School, one of 58 successful schools that will share in $25 million for a range of small-scale refurbishments, such as bathroom, playground, and fencing repairs, through the 2024/25 round of the Labor Government’s Capital Works Fund.
Pender’s Grove Primary School will receive $481,985 to refurbish the school's student bathrooms.
The Victorian Labor Government has invested $16.9 billion over the past 10 years to build new schools and deliver more than 2,000 school upgrades − supporting more than 26,000 jobs in construction and associated industries.
We are getting on with the job of building new schools as we gear up to open 100 new schools by 2026.
The Victorian School Building Authority will work with successful schools from early 2025 to deliver their projects.
All construction is set to be finished by the end of May 2026.
