Epsom Primary School has received $25,000 in funding to build a new outdoor learning space as part of the current round of the Federal Government’s Schools Upgrade Fund.
All schools across the country were invited to apply for up to $25,000 in funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on need.
The funding is part of the latest $32 million round of the Schools Upgrade Fund to improve school infrastructure with projects to purchase new ICT equipment, upgrade or improve existing learning environments or build new learning spaces.
The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on its promise to invest in schools and there is more to come.
