New covered area and outdoor equipment for Victory College

Students and staff at Victory College in Gympie will benefit from a new undercover area, animal enclosure and outdoor equipment thanks to $245,000 in funding from the Federal Government.

Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien officially opened the new facility today on behalf of the Minister for Education Dan Tehan.
 
“It was great to visit Victory College in Gympie today and see the new facilities firsthand and the impact they will have on the school community” Mr O’Brien said.
 
Mr O’Brien said students and the whole school community would benefit from these new facilities.
 
“These new amenities are contemporary in design and take into account the requirements of the staff, the students and the broader school community. They fit in with a rural learning environment and reflect a vibrant, friendly working school community.”
 
“This is part of our commitment to ensuring students have the support they need to succeed.
 
“Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities – that’s why the Federal Government is proud of the Capital Grants Program, which has benefited thousands of schools across the nation.”
 
The Government has committed $703 million until 2022, which provides funding for
non-government schools to improve capital infrastructure.
