Students and teachers at Wallington Primary School have access to upgraded facilities after a $2.1 million investment from the state government.
Member for Bellarine Alison Marchant MP recently visited the new, upgraded, state-of-the-art classrooms and learning spaces, including upgraded works on the main building.
The new facilities commenced construction earlier this year and are now complete.
The school also received more than $180,000 through the department’s Inclusive Schools Fund to build an inclusive playground, which was completed in 2024.
“These new facilities are a fantastic boost for local Wallington students, giving them the modern, inspiring learning spaces they deserve,” Ms Marchant said.
Ms Marchant said new and modern school buildings contribute to school pride for students, parents and the wider community, building their engagement with education.
The state government invested $18.5 billion over the past 11 years to build new schools and deliver more than 2300 school upgrades − supporting more than 30,000 jobs in construction and associated industries.
“Our government is investing in the Education State to ensure every Victorian student has access to quality, modern learning environments close to home,” Deputy Premier and Minister for Education Ben Carroll said.
“We’re delivering on our election commitment and ensuring students have spaces tailored to 21st century learning that develop creative thinking and inspire learning for life.”
