Andrew Robb, the Federal Member for Goldstein, is pleased to congratulate 13 bayside schools who will share in $1,011,046 of funding under the Federal Government’s Investing In Our Schools programme of grants.
“This funding will provide 13 local schools with the opportunity to buy much needed equipment such as computers, classroom furniture and musical instruments or undertake construction of essential infrastructure such as building a new library or installing shade structures” said Andrew Robb.
“Such projects, many desperately needed by schools, never seem to make it on to the Victorian Government’s priority list. Often school communities are left to face the long and arduous task of raising the necessary funding themselves. This funding will allow students to experience the benefits of new equipment and upgraded facilities sooner”
“I congratulate the staff and school communities of the successful schools for making applications for this funding. It is a competitive process and the local success is a tribute to the initiative and hard work undertaken by schools in the bayside area”
The bayside schools received as follows:
• Beaumaris North Primary School $25,315
• Beaumaris Primary School $70,000
• Bentleigh West Primary School $105,440
• Black Rock Primary School $31,256
• Brighton Beach Primary School $57,738
• Carnegie Primary School $13,636
• Caulfield South Primary School $150,000
• Elsternwick Primary School $149,971
• Katandra School $32,594
• McKinnon Primary School $98,189
• McKinnon Secondary College $100,753
• Sandringham College (Sandringham Campus) $31,190
• Sandringham Primary School $144,964
Since 2005, schools within the electorate of Goldstein have shared in more than $3.6 million worth of funding under the Investing In Our Schools programme.
