Appointments for school upgrades

Students at Brentwood Park Primary School and Hampton Park Primary School are a step closer to getting the facilities they need for a great schooling experience.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas announced that Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp Pty Ltd has been appointed architect to design Brentwood Park Primary School’s $3.46 million upgrade.

This upgrade is part of the Victorian Government’s Capital Works Fund 2021/22 and will upgrade and modernise the school, including the art and music building.

Better facilities are also on the way for students at Hampton Park Primary School with Ducon Maintenance Pty Ltd appointed to deliver the school’s new community hub space.

The Minor Capital Works Fund 2020/21 allocated $264,625 towards this project which will provide an enhanced learning and social environment for students, staff, teachers and the community.

More than 300 Victorian government schools have been allocated funding to fast-track priority projects under the Minor Capital Works Fund to improve learning environments as well as the condition and character of schools.

Mr Maas welcomed the news for both schools.

“Brentwood Park Primary School is a fantastic local school and the appointment of Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp Pty Ltd to design their $3.46 million upgrade is another step towards this project becoming a reality for their staff, students and teachers,“ Mr Maas said.

“Hampton Park Primary School will soon see their community hub taking shape as Ducon Maintenance Pty Ltd start their work to deliver this important facility.

“The State Government will continue investing in our local schools to ensure that our students receive the best education in the best learning environments.”
