About the project

This school has benefited from Victoria's largest-ever single investment in upgrading specialist schools. 39 schools sharing $388.8 million.

We constructed a new specialist learning building, which houses:

  • shared and hands-on learning spaces
  • a performing arts and drama area
  • a food technology cafe and kitchen for students
  • physical therapy areas.

We also upgraded the gymnasium toilets and completed landscaping across the school.

Funding

In the 2020–21 State Budget, the school received $7.985 million.
