Narre Warren North families will get the world-class local school their students deserve, with the state government to upgrade Narre Warren North Primary School.

Luke Donnellan MP announced that Labor will invest $4.5 million to demolish Building 1, which includes classrooms and administration facilities.

Its tired old classrooms and office space will be replaced by a new modern building with the state of the art classrooms and facilities students and staff need to achieve their best.

Mr Donnellan met with members of local pioneer families, the Rae and Montague families, who attended the school along and past school council member Michael Gonsalves to share their stories of the school.

“Across the generations members of the pioneering Rae and Montague families have been students at this great local school,” Mr Donnellan said.

“Upgrades at Narre Warren North Primary School will support the hard work and commitment of teachers and staff and enable students to reach their full potential.”

Minister for Education James Merlino said, “Narre Warren North families deserve to know their kids are getting the very best start in life. With these upgrades, we’ll make sure they are.”
