OCEAN Grove Primary School students now have bigger, better classrooms and school facilities to learn in thanks to the State Government.
Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville visited the school last week to open its $4.1 million upgrade.
The upgrade includes a rebuild of the school gymnasium, installation of new relocatable classrooms and an open courtyard for outdoor learning.
In addition, $105,830 has been allocated for the school to install a new perimeter fence.
“I have been very pleased to have worked with the Ocean Grove school community in getting this upgrade funded, constructed and now complete,” Ms Neville said.
“I congratulate former Principal Daryl Diment, his staff and School Council for their hard work in minimising disruption to classes while construction was being undertaken.
“Ocean Grove Primary School is a great school, with dedicated staff and these new facilities will assist them further in ensuring every student is given the best chance to succeed.”
The State Government has invested $5.6 billion to deliver more than 1,400 school upgrades, supporting over 5,000 construction jobs for Victorians.
