Ocean Grove public schools will receive more than $1 million under a federal Labor government, as part of a $14 billion investment in public education.
Bellarine Secondary College will benefit from an additional $660,000 in funding at its Ocean Grove campus, while Ocean Grove Primary School will receive $610,000 in extra funds over the three years from 2020.
In all, Corangamite schools will see an extra $15.2 million in funding under the plan.
Labor Candidate for Corangamite, Libby Coker, said the plan was a big win for public schools and students in the region
“Labor’s record school funding will ensure Ocean Grove public schools get the funding they need to give students the best chance for a rewarding future,” Ms Coker said.
“It will mean more individual attention, more support with numeracy and literacy and new skills to help young people secure the jobs of the future.
“This investment will also enable public schools to offer a broader range of subjects in languages, coding, the arts and vocational education.”
