Narre Warren North Primary school is receiving $59,000 to create an outdoor sensory area to better support the social and education needs of young people with a disability.
The funding comes under the State Government’s $30 million Inclusive Schools Fund.
“This Outdoor Sensory Area will make a real difference for all students at and their families at Narre Warren North Primary School and further enhance an inclusive environment for all,” member for Narre Warren North Luke Donnellan said.
Inclusive education is about ensuring that all students, regardless of disabilities or other differences are able to fully participate, learn, develop and succeed.
Minister for Education James Merlino said, “As we build the Education State, we’re continuing to invest in schools to ensure students of all abilities can access a great education – no matter their circumstances.
“These projects are all about giving our primary schools the equipment and infrastructure they need to inspire a lifelong passion for learning for all of their students and to show that disability isn’t a barrier to learning and achieving.”
