About the project

As part of the Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan we began modernising and upgrading the school.

In this stage, we built contemporary learning spaces, including flexible use indoor and outdoor spaces. We also created a state-of-the-art science and technology building and completed landscaping works.

The modernisation ensures the school is equipped for modern learning that supports students intellectually, and gives them hands-on opportunities that will help them learn throughout school and beyond. The new facilities also encourage social engagement among students, parents/carers and teachers, and can be shared across the six schools in the education plan.

Funding

In the 2018–19 State Budget, $6.2 million was allocated to the school as part of the Lilydale and Upper Yarra Education Plan.
