Woodleigh School

Senator for Victoria, David Van, today announced that Woodleigh School will benefit from new learning spaces thanks to a Federal Government grant.

Senator Van said the Morrison Government would provide $2 million towards the project through the Capital Grants Program, which provides funding for non-government schools to improve capital infrastructure.

“Students and staff at Woodleigh School will benefit from the construction of Homestead Four, which will include three secondary classrooms, a meeting space, student common area and outdoor pavilion,” Senator Van said.

“Woodleigh School Senior Campus in Langwarrin South has a wonderful school community and these new facilities will further enhance the learning environment.

“Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities – that’s why the Morrison Government is proud of the Capital Grants Program, which has benefited thousands of schools across the nation.

“This project is being fast-tracked to help support our local schools, create jobs and drive economic growth, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our Government is ensuring that every child gets a quality education no matter where they go to school. We are providing a record $314.2 billion in recurrent funding for all Australian schools under our Quality Schools package.

“We are delivering real, needs-based funding that is matched by national reforms that will drive better results and outcomes, as recommended by David Gonski in his Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools.

“I congratulate Woodleigh School on their successful grant application and look forward to seeing the positive impact the new facilities will have on students and our community.”
