Ocean Grove Primary School is one step closer to getting an inclusive playground with the announcement of BDH Construction as the builder of the $200,000 project.
Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville announced the builder for the playground made possible by funding through the Inclusive Schools Fund.
“This new playground, when complete, will make a real difference to students at Ocean Grove Primary School who will get the benefits of new inclusive spaces to cater for a wider range of options for teaching and learning,” Minister Neville said.
“As we build the Education State, we’re continuing to invest in schools to ensure students of all abilities can access a great education – no matter their circumstances.”
The Victorian Budget 2021/22 included $10 million for the Inclusive Schools Fund to help make our schools more accessible and inclusive for young people with a disability and additional needs.
Since its inception in 2015, the fund has supported 308 primary, secondary and specialist schools to build inclusive indoor and outdoor learning spaces as well as accessible playgrounds.
Inclusive education is about ensuring that all students, regardless of disabilities or other differences, can fully participate, learn, develop and succeed in Victorian government schools.
