GREENWAY SCHOOLS TO RECEIVE FUNDING FOR UPGRADES AND EQUIPMENT

Today I am announcing that nine local schools will benefit from a share of $32 million in grants to upgrade school infrastructure and equipment. 

The funding is part of a $250 million commitment to improve school infrastructure by the Albanese Government. 

All schools across the country were invited to apply for the funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on need. 

Schools were able to apply for grants of up to $25,000 to support much needed improvements to facilities and learning environments.

The following Greenway schools will benefit from funding:
