Narre Warren North Liberal candidate Timothy Dragan and shadow education minister David Hodgett met with staff and students from Southern Cross Primary School this week, to announce a significant funding pledge for the school.
Under a Matt Guy Liberals and Nationals Government, the Endeavour Hills school will receive $1.1 million towards significant facility upgrades, as well as important school maintenance work.
Southern Cross Primary School has approximately 200 students from over 35 different nationalities and is in desperate need of modern, fit-for-purpose facilities, according to the Liberal Party.
The Liberals and Nationals’ funding commitment will allow for significant refurbishments to the grounds and enhanced security measures, as well as fixing roofing and student bathroom facilities.
“After two years of remote and flexible learning, it’s more important than ever to invest in our schools and deliver quality facilities for all students, and the Liberals and Nationals will do just that,” Shadow Minister for Education, David Hodgett said.
Liberal candidate for Narre Warren North, Timothy Dragan, said Southern Cross Primary School students and teachers deserve access to the very best facilities.
“I will continue to listen and advocate for our local schools that have long been neglected. I am proud that a Matt Guy Government will see the community get this much-needed upgrade at Southern Cross Primary School.”
