GEELONG\u2019S Northern Bay College will receive more than $1.7 million in funding for improved facilities and maintenance works around the campus.<\/p>\n

The state government funded works will include ceiling repair, drink fountain replacement, handrails repair, repainting works, revarnishing works, roof and wall works.<\/p>\n

Lara MP Ella George said the upgrades to facilities at Northern Bay College would support students.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery student should have access to a great school, that\u2019s why we\u2019re supporting Northern Bay College with the upgrades they need for a great learning environment, that will support educational outcomes of students across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the Planned Maintenance Program, the funding addresses high-priority maintenance works across Victoria\u2019s government schools.<\/p>\n

The program ensures schools are able to complete essential work in classrooms and other school buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program is about ensuring that every school in Victoria is kept up to date, so that every child can access a high-quality education in a high-quality environment,\u201d Minister for Education Ben Carroll said.<\/p>\n

Northern Bay College is one of 88 schools around the state to receive a share in the $19.9 million funding, with 90 maintenance projects to be undertaken between them.<\/p>\n

Over the past 10 years the state government has invested $16.9 billion in building new schools and delivering more than 2,200 upgrades.<\/p>\n
