Toolern Vale and District Primary School pupils will soon have a new and improved school.
The school will receive $105,000 for high priority maintenance works on it’s Shelter in Place building and $50,000 for high priority maintenance works across the school, including floor repairs, painting, wall and window repairs and surface treatments.
The school is among 78 schools across the state to share in $5.94 million in funding as part of the state government’s Planned Maintenance Program.
A new evaluation system was put in place in 2018 to provide more information on the condition of school infrastructure to create a timely and targeted allocation of funding.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the funding ensured existing buildings at Victoria’s schools were safe, modern and properly maintained.
“This investment in Toolern Vale and District Primary School is about making sure all of our schools are well maintained and safe so students learn in the best possible environment,” she said.
“Toolern Vale and District Primary School is a fantastic school so it is wonderful news that they are among the schools set to share in this vital maintenance funding.”
