Mornington Park Primary School is among 31 Victorian government schools that will share in $294.8m for upgrade and modernisation works.

The school will receive $331,000 for its upgrade and modernisation works, with the project due for completion by 31 March 2028.

“As a small community school, we are delighted to receive this funding to support important upgrades across our facilities,” said Mornington Park Primary School principal Kathleen Lord.

“These improvements will help us create an environment that is welcoming, inclusive and safe, while also enhancing the overall appearance of our school for students, staff and the wider community.”

The broader schools capital package announced in the state budget also includes $761.8m for new and growing schools across Victoria, $216.7m for high-quality modular classrooms and buildings, $104m to acquire land for future schools in high-growth areas, and $28.8m to improve access for students with disability and additional needs.
