St Albans’ Holy Eucharist Primary School has been granted $1.4 million to refurbish its classrooms, bathrooms and breakout spaces.
Principal Michael Bonnici was thrilled with the funding and what it will bring.
“This is wonderful news for our school community. This funding will assist us by upgrading the building in the junior school,” he said.
“This will enhance student, as well as staff wellbeing, which in turn will help improve student learning outcomes.
“At Holy Eucharist, we are committed to ensuring that all our students, regardless of their socio-economic background, have access to a high-quality education.
“The proposed refurbishment is not just a renovation; it’s an investment in the future of our students and the quality of education we provide.”
The project is being delivered through the Catholic stream of the state government’s building fund for non-government schools.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said the funding program ensures that schools can be at their best.
“Thousands of Victorian kids go to a low-fee Catholic school every day – and we’re making sure those kids are learning in the best environments,” he said.
“We’re supporting our low-fee Catholic schools to expand, build new classrooms and open new campuses.”
St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman said Holy Eucharist is a fantastic and popular school.
“This project will mean their teachers have the best facilities to give their students the best education,” she said.
