DAVID Scott School in Frankston has received a $1.3 million grant to build a new two-storey learning centre.
The money will be used to knock down an existing building, construct the new one, and improve outdoor areas and amenities.
The grant was awarded through the federal government’s capital grants program. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “these new facilities will provide school staff, teachers and students at David Scott School with better, more modern spaces in which to work, teach and learn. The Australian Government is committed to providing all schools with appropriate funding so that all students, including those at David Scott School, get the best possible education.”
“The teachers, staff and students at David Scott School have built a strong and positive school community and these new facilities will further enhance our local educational opportunities,” she said.
The state government is also contributing $2 million towards work on the school.
