Epsom students now have bigger, better school facilities to learn in, thanks to the Andrews Labor Government.
Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan today visited Epsom Primary School to open its $500,000 upgrade, which includes a shade cover for the existing basketball court and a new sport shed. This project comes on top of the $5.9 million upgrade to the school completed in 2018.
The Labor Government has invested $7.2 billion to deliver more than 1,460 school upgrades, supporting over 7,500 construction jobs for Victorians.
A total of 100 new schools will open by 2026 under the Labor Government’s school building boom, ensuring every child has a great local school and a great start in life.
This building boom will continue over the coming years, with the Government having already appointed builders to start delivering 14 new schools that will open in 2021.
The Labor Government is building the Education State so that every student can access a great local school and a quality education.
