Woodend Primary School pupils are enjoying new music and gym facilities.
The $2 million gym and music space was opened last week by Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas and Premier Daniel Andrews.
The project has converted the school’s multi-purpose hall into a gym with storage space and a new music facility with practice and meeting rooms.
The upgrades include a refurbished hard court, stairs, decks and ramps and landscaping for the school’s outdoor spaces.
Ms Thomas said she was delighted the pupils could prosper and learn in the new facilities.
“Woodend Primary School is an outstanding local school … these upgrades will provide more space for music, physical activity, assemblies and community events,” she said.
“This is a terrific result for students, families and teachers.”
Mr Andrews welcomed the upgrades at the primary school.
“Every student deserves modern school facilities and that’s what we have delivered for Woodend Primary School,” he said.
“We are building schools so students and teachers have the best facilities and every chid is given every chance to succeed.”
The upgrades are part of a $5.6 billion state government boost to deliver new schools, with more than 1400 school upgrades planned or completed.
