BERWICK’S Kambrya College has taken a $3 million chunk out of the state budget to build a multipurpose facility to cater for the rise in student numbers.
The funding will ensure a two-storey facility will replace existing portable classrooms at the rear of the school.
The open space, which will also be open to community use, will include classrooms and a multipurpose room on the second storey.
Acting principal at the college Joanne Wastle said the building was an important initiative for both the school and locals who could access it outside school hours.
“It will ensure that we have greater opportunity to maximise the potential of every student within a flexible learning space,” Ms Wastle said.
State Member for Narre Warren South Judith Couacaud Graley has been an advocate of the multipurpose space, and said the funding announcement was a “big win”.
“We worked long and hard to secure funding for this much-needed project, and now we will see Kambrya’s vision become a reality,” Ms Couacaud Graley said.
