Goldstein Media Releases, Infrastructure, Education and Training
Andrew Robb, the Federal Member for Goldstein is today please to announce that Kilvington Baptist Girls’ Grammar in Ormond has received a grant of $40,000 from the Federal Government.
Kilvington has received the grant as part of the Investing in our Schools Programme which is a $1billion Federal Government initiative to provide additional funds for infrastructure projects in Australian schools.
The staff and students at Kilvington will receive $40,000 towards the project to install interactive whiteboards in the school learning areas.
“I am very pleased that Kilvington will receive this grant to upgrade some of their existing infrastructure” said Andrew Robb MP.
“Education is the building block for future success of our young Australians, and good infrastructure is one of the foundations of that success.”
“The Government will provide an estimated $736million in capital funding to Catholic and Independent schools over the next four years. This represents a 97% increase over the previous four year funding period.”
