A $3.2 million upgrade of Romsey Primary School is complete, providing pupils with bigger classrooms and better facilities.
The state government funding has elevated buildings into modern spaces boasting new robotics and coding technology, as well as a new science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) centre and a 3D printer.
The upgrade also included improvements to outdoor areas, car park lighting and addressed existing maintenance issues.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas visited the primary school on Friday, February 18, to celebrate the completion of the works.
The school was involved too – principal Kimberly Nicolls, assistant principal Sally Davies, and all the school captains, leaders and pupils joined in to honour the occasion.
“We’re ensuring local students have the best facilities, our classrooms have the best teachers and every child is given every chance to succeed,” Ms Thomas said.
“Local families and kids can now enjoy great new facilities at Romsey Primary School.
“The STEAM centre delivers a fantastic new space enabling children to pursue 3D robotics technology, coding as well as science, arts and maths.
“We made a promise to the teachers, parents and students at Romsey Primary to upgrade their school and the Andrews Labor Government has delivered,” she said.
