“Clifton Springs was built in the 1980s and has served the community well, but with the school ageing and the community growing, the state government has recognised the need to modernise the school,” Ms Neville said.<\/p>\n
She congratulated principal Meg Parker, her team and the wider school community on the work they had done in getting the project under way.<\/p>\n
“The school and families have done an incredible job in supporting students over the last few years and with these new facilities we are ensuring students will have the modern state of the art facilities they so deserve.”<\/p>\n
Ms Neville said “the school upgrade will also provide important local construction jobs through Geelong builders Lyons Construction and Minx Architecture.<\/p>\n
“Clifton Springs is a great school and this upgrade will ensure it continues to deliver a first class education to students in first-class facilities.”<\/p>\n
Ms Neville also visited Bellarine Secondary College’s Drysdale campus to celebrate the opening of the school’s recently completed VCE Centre and the installation of the solar panels at the school.<\/p>\n
She said she was pleased to have worked with the school on securing state government funding of $8.9 million to build the centre.<\/p>\n
This funding follows $1.2 million in 2017 used to modernise and refurbish school facilities at the Drysdale and Ocean Grove campuses.<\/p>\n
