A Bell Park school will soon have a brand-new learning centre as part of a major education upgrade, thanks to state government funding.
Construction is currently underway on the $6.4 million building at Nelson Park School to deliver a modern and inclusive learning centre.
Member for Lara Ella George said the new build was a significant investment in the future of students at Nelson Park School.
“I was delighted to speak with school leaders, Ameliah and Liam, who are excited for this major redevelopment of their school,” she said.
“It reflects our commitment to providing world class educational facilities in Geelong’s North and ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.”
Ms George said the new building will serve as an example of accessible education while ensuring that every student has access to quality educational opportunities regardless of their background and where they live.
The centre will feature four general-purpose classrooms, two specialist areas, a separate administration building, an outdoor basketball court, decking and landscaping.
The state government has invested $16.9 billion over the past 10 years to build new schools, deliver more than 2200 school upgrades, and support more than 26000 jobs in construction and associated industries.
The state government said it remained dedicated to fostering an inclusive learning environment for all students to enable them to thrive and reach their full potential.
