Thirty-seven public schools across Canberra are to receive better classrooms, outdoor learning areas and accessibility upgrades under the Territory’s Public School Infrastructure Renewal Program.
Announcing this year’s recipients, the Minister for Education and Youth Affairs, Yvette Berry said $22.181 million had been allocated towards 51 projects at 37 schools, including nine schools in the Belconnen region; eight schools in the North/Gungahlin region; 11 schools in the South/Weston region; and nine schools in the Tuggeranong region.
“Infrastructure improvement projects include improved classrooms, new and upgraded outdoor learning areas, new bike storage, new and upgraded walkways and access ramps, landscaping works, improved staff facilities and new school signage,” Ms Berry said.
“ACT public schools are continually being upgraded to ensure that all students can take full advantage of educational opportunities,” she said.
“The infrastructure projects were chosen and assessed based on submissions from ACT public schools.”
Ms Berry said all ACT public schools would be invited to submit infrastructure project proposals for the next round of the program in September.
