About the project

We’re building a new hydrotherapy pool at this school.

This project includes:

  • A 15-metre hydrotherapy pool, with a depth to 1.5 metres and accessible ramp 
  • Student and staff toilets, showers and change rooms 
  • Pool plant room 
  • External and landscaping works

Hydrotherapy pools can have significant health benefits. Having one on site at their school can make accessing a pool easier for students.

Funding

As part of the 2023–24 Victorian State Budget, this school shared in $25 million from the Hydrotherapy Pools at Specialist Schools Fund.
