THE second stage of works at Monterey Secondary College is underway.
Slab is set to be poured for a new gymnasium at the school, which will form part of the new sports and health sciences centre on campus.
Late last year the secondary school announced a partnership with the St Kilda Football Club. The agreement would see the football club design a curriculum for an academy, which was scheduled to have its first intake of students in 2021.
Monterey Secondary College assistant principal Tom Cain said “it’s really exciting to be working towards a vision of the school as a high performing community hub that engages and supports a wide range of young people in their journey to success in learning and life.”
Education minister James Merlino said the works were part of a $26.2 million investment in the Frankston North Education Plan.
“This is a project for the entire community and will ensure that every student has access to the facilities they deserve,” he said.
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “the Frankston North Education Plan is about making sure local students have access to the best facilities and can reach their full potential.”
Works are also underway on projects at Mahogany Rise Primary School and Aldercourt Primary School. They include new classrooms, and integrated family, health and wellbeing services.
