Kilvington Girls Grammar has today received a funding boost of $55,000 through the Federal Governments Investing in Our Schools programme announced Andrew Robb, the Federal Member for Goldstein.
“Kilvington Girls Grammar is a wonderful school, and each time I have visited the grounds or met with the students I have been thoroughly impressed. So I am thrilled that Kilvington has received this funding to make their school even better” said Andrew Robb.
“The $55,000 will go towards the refurbishment of the science laboratories to help ensure that the girls at Kilvington have first class facilities in which to undertake their science classes which will hopefully help encourage a new generation of scientists.”
“The Investing in our Schools Programme is a really valuable program which has seen Bayside schools benefit from more than $1.5 million worth of funding since 2004 to improve facilities for our school students, both primary and secondary.”
“Our students deserve the best facilities that money can buy, and the Investing in our Schools Programme builds on the $1.5 billion already allocated by the Australian Government for capital works on schools over the next four years.”
Investing in our Schools provides Government, Catholic and independent schools with funding to undertake one off projects to improve the schools facilities. This has included for bayside schools funding to improve playgrounds at local primary schools, including the installation of shade sails, upgrading of arts and crafts facilities, upgrading bathrooms and change room facilities and improved heating and cooling facilities.
