PLANNING is now underway for the upgrade of Hampton Park Primary School.
Minx Architecture has been awarded the contract to design the $5 million rebuild which will see the school receive a new science centre, a refurbished office, new art room, library and computer rooms, and new toilets and staff facilities.
“It is fantastic to see this exciting project take shape and hear first-hand about the exciting vision the school has for their new facilities,” Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said on Tuesday 22 September.
“I know that the school’s outstanding science program will become bigger and better than ever before in their new science discovery centre.
“I look forward to working closely with the school to ensure their students have access to the very best school facilities and opportunities they so rightly deserve.”
Hampton Park Primary School is also set to receive an extra $347,737 in extra funding for 2016 from the Andrews State Government.
Earlier this month Star News reported how 14 schools in Dandenong will also receive a share in the more than $4.8 million in State Government funding a part of its plan to make Victoria the Education State.
Distributed between primary and secondary schools, the money will be spent on upgrading schools and assisting disadvantaged families.
