Catching the IT bug early

CASEY kinders will share in more than $20,000 to improve playrooms and boost technology.
The State Government on Tuesday 13 October announced successful Children’s Facilities Capital Program grant applicants.
Doveton College Early Learning will receive a $9500 Minor Infrastructure Refurbishment Grant – one of 122 handed out to refurbish playgrounds and improve access for children of all abilities.
Families and Children Minister Jenny Mikakos said IT Grants went to 249 kindergartens for new laptops, tablets and other digital hardware.
“These upgrades will create better playrooms, as well as giving our youngest Victorians access to technology that will form part of their education for years to come,” she said.
Casey IT Grant recipients included Cranbourne’s Bowen Street and Carlisle Park kindergartens and Arbourlea Kindergarten in Cranbourne North, which each received $1013.
Hallam Kindergarten also received $1013 while $1500 went to Goodstarts in Sherwood Road, Narre Warren South; Galloway Drive, Pound Road North and Pound Road South in Narre Warren; Lynbrook and Park Coral Drive and Somerville Road in Hampton Park.
Narre Warren’s Fleetwood Kindergarten and Fountain Gate Kindergarten will each benefit from $1500.
