A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $2.74 million to upgrade St John’s School, in partnership with the Victoria Catholic Education Authority.
Students and staff at St John’s deserve modern, fit-for-purpose facilities.
That’s why Labor will contribute funding to deliver a new learning neighbourhood and refurbished classrooms, including an upgrade to the school’s roofing, ensuring contemporary and flexible learning environments for students in Footscray.
We’ve invested almost $1 billion to upgrade independent and Catholic schools, including 274 Catholic schools.
Only Labor is delivering the local upgrades students and families need.
A Liberal-One National Coalition won’t.
They’ve promised $40 billion in cuts - and you can’t cut $40 billion without cutting schools.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Education Gabrielle Williams
“Labor knows every great education starts with a great local school.”
Quotes attributable to Member for Footscray Katie Hall
“St John’s has educated Footscray kids for generations, and this commitment will keep it going strong for generations more.”
