Sandringham East Primary School
Mr ERDOGAN (Southern Metropolitan) (09:48): Last week I was very proud to announce that the Andrews Labor government is investing $3.8 million to upgrade Sandringham East Primary School. The funding, delivered as part of this year’s Victorian budget, will deliver the final stage of the school’s master plan, including upgrades to the administration building and the prep learning area. The new investment builds on the $7.8 million allocated to the school in the 2018–19 budget and will ensure that current and student future students at Sandringham East Primary School have access to modern, engaging learning environments to give them the best start in life. Sandringham East Primary was the first school I visited after I was elected to this place and is one that I have visited many times since. I would like to congratulate the fantastic school community and in particular acknowledge the principal, Laureen Walton, for her advocacy on behalf of Sandy East Primary over a long period.
Since coming to government we have invested over $12.8Â billion in building new schools and upgrading more than 1800 schools across the state, creating 17Â 000 jobs in construction and associated industries. This government is well ahead of schedule in its work to deliver 100 new schools between 2019 and 2026, with 75 new schools opening between 2019 and 2024. It is all part of our commitment to keep Victoria as the Education State.
