Classrooms pledged for Camp Hill

CAMP Hill Primary School will gain new permanent classrooms if Labor forms government after next month’s State election.

Member for Bendigo West, and the electorate’s Labor candidate, Maree Edwards announced $4.1 million would build four classrooms and an art area, to replace temporary spaces.

“Every family deserves a great local school, and a re-elected Andrews Labor Government will replace all the relocatables at Camp Hill Primary School with permanent buildings, so kids in Bendigo have the world-class classrooms they deserve,” she said.

“The best teachers aren’t able to do the best job in ageing classrooms and out-of-date facilities.

“That’s why the Andrews Labor Government has invested more than $12.8 billion to build and upgrade schools in every corner of the state, making sure every kid has every chance.”

Minister for Education Natalie Hutchins said the quality of learning spaces should reflect the quality of the teaching and learning taking place within them each day.

“Our teachers do an amazing job educating Victorian students, and that’s why we deliver so many new and upgraded classrooms and facilities at schools right across the state,” she said.

“We want our teachers and students to have what they need to succeed in the classroom.”
