Liberal Senator for Victoria Sarah Henderson today announced Holy Rosary School in Heathcote will benefit from new classrooms and refurbishment of amenities thanks to a Morrison Liberal Government grant.
Senator Henderson said the Australian Government would provide $1,000,000 towards the project at Holy Rosary School through the Capital Grants Program, which provides funding for non‑government schools to improve capital infrastructure.
“Students and staff at Holy Rosary School will benefit from the construction of four general learning areas and the refurbishment of amenities,” Senator Henderson said.
“Holy Rosary School has a wonderful school community and these new facilities will further enhance the learning environment.
“Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities – that’s why the Morrison Liberal Government is proud of the Capital Grants Program which has benefited thousands of schools across the nation.
“Our Government is ensuring that every child gets a quality education no matter where they go to school. We are providing a record $310.3 billion in recurrent funding for all Australian schools under our Quality Schools package.
“We are delivering real, needs-based funding that is matched by national reforms that will drive better results and outcomes, as recommended by David Gonski in his Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools.
“I congratulate Holy Rosary School on its successful grant application and look forward to seeing the positive impact the new facilities will have on students and our community,” Senator Henderson said.
