New infrastructure is on the way for a Keilor Downs school, after a successful entry into a state government program supporting better learning outcomes with upgrades and maintenance.
St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman said Monmia Primary School was one of 58 successful schools that will share in $25 million for a range of small-scale refurbishments, such as bathroom, playground, and fencing repairs, through the 2024-25 round of the state government’s capital works fund.
“Congratulations to Monmia Primary School for collaborating with me to achieve this goal. With this investment, students will enjoy their brand-new playground, which perfectly complements the newly built STEM learning facility,” she said.
Monmia Primary school will receive just under $500,000 to refurbish outdoor areas, creating two new playgrounds.
The Victorian School Building Authority will work with successful schools from early 2025 to deliver their projects.
All construction is set to be finished by the end of May 2026.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said the investment provides greater opportunities for all students.
“Every student deserves world class facilities at their school. We will continue to invest in renovating school facilities, making sure we meet the needs of every child,” he said.
