MAINTENANCE BLITZ FOR KYNETON HIGH SCHOOL

The Allan Labor Government is making sure Victorian students are learning in modern schools.

Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas today announced Kyneton High School will benefit from a $920,982 investment for maintenance works.

The school will share in $35.077 million from the Planned Maintenance Program (PMP), thanks to investment from the Labor Government.

Practical improvements for the school include clean down works, drainage works, repainting works, revarnishing works, roof works, structural works, switchboard works and wall repair.

These mean high-quality spaces for principals, teachers and staff and better learning experiences for students.

Funding for school maintenance has increased by six-fold under Labor.

The Liberals and Nationals slashed $1 billion from the education budget when they were last in power.

They let public schools crumble and decay, abandoning Victorian school communities.

In stark contrast, Labor has made a record $18.5 billion investment in our public schools.

Labor’s record investment has seen 121 new public schools delivered and more than 2,300 school upgrades.

Quote attributable to Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas:
