Goldstein Media Releases, Funding, Education and Training
Andrew Robb, the Federal Member for Goldstein, today congratulates McKinnon Secondary College for receiving a $650,000 grant from the Federal Government under the Capital Grants Programme.
Staff and students at McKinnon Secondary College will benefit from a new seminar room, canteen facilities and student amenities, as well as the upgrade of general purpose classrooms, the arts and personal development facilities and staff work spaces.
“These new and upgraded facilities will help provide the best possible learning environment for the students at McKinnon Secondary College” said Andrew Robb.
“This project involves a significant amount of funding for McKinnon Secondary College, which should be a good boost to the schools facilities.
“In 2005, $249 million will be allocated to capital projects in state schools, with over $59 million being allocated to Victorian schools.
“McKinnon Secondary College already has an excellent reputation as a quality educational institution; this upgrade of facilities should help the teachers to continue to provide first class educational opportunities to their students.”
