The Morrison Government has announced funding for three Hunter schools as part of the Capital Grants Program. 

The successful school applicants of the program are ALESCO Senior College in North Lakes, St Phillip’s Christian College, Salamander Bay and St Brigid’s Catholic College in Lake Munmorah. 

Each school will be receiving varying funding amounts based on their reconstruction and infrastructure proposals. 

The refurbishments are all set to modernise  schools with up-to-date facilities which is in hopes to help kids thrive in the classroom with high-end learning facilities. 

Among the redevelopments are general learning areas, outdoor breakout areas, and administration and staff amenities, to benefit both students and teachers of the schools. 

Patron Senator for The Hunter Region Hollie Hughes says, 

“This money is going to ensure that where students actually learn and look to the future and come out with the best result, have the absolute best facilities that they can have.”
