Bayside P-12 College has been allocated nearly $2 million in government funding for maintenance work on its classrooms and facilities.
The Williamstown school is one of 46 across the state that will share in $22.5 million in funding as part of the government’s Planned Maintenance Program announced on Tuesday 18 November.
Bayside’s funding of more than $1.9 million will go towards addressing the outcomes of the Ramps Safety Audit Program.
This includes the complete rebuilding of fifty-six ramps, the partial rebuild of two ramps, and minor works at five ramps at the school.
The maintenance funding follows the $6.7 million provided to the college to modernise its library , upgrade outdoor spaces for students and build new Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) facilities which opened earlier this year.
“I’m pleased to see sustained investment across all our schools in the Williamstown electorate,” Williamstown MP Melissa Horne said following the maintenance funding announcement.
“I’m sure students, staff and families are delighted to see Bayside College share in funding that will ensure we have the best facilities to learn in.”
Deputy Premier and Education Minister Ben Carroll said the funding was part of the government’s broader effort to make sure students learn in modern, safe and engaging environments..
“Our Planned Maintenance Program invests in our schools and the future of our kids, who thrive in state-of-the-art facilities,” Mr Carroll said.
