Funding for Overnewton College

Overnewton Anglican Community College will soon have a new food and technology centre after receiving federal government funding.

The college has received $800,000 from the capital grants funding program to help develop a new food technology centre and other facilities at its Keilor campus.

Victorian Senator Jane Hume said the funding will help students thrive.

“Students and staff at Overnewton Anglican Community College will benefit from the refurbishment of an existing building to construct a food technology centre comprising a commercial kitchen, classrooms, flexible learning, dining spaces and staff offices,” Senator Hume said.

“Overnewton Anglican Community College 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 government is proud of the capital grants program, which has helped thousands of schools across the nation to build new and updated infrastructure.”

Senator Hume said providing needs-based funding that is matched by national reforms will drive

better results and outcomes.

“I congratulate Overnewton Anglican Community College on their successful grant application and look forward to seeing the positive impact these new facilities will have on the school community.”
