MONTVILLE State School has been granted over $450,000 to improve their playground and outdoor area.
Member for Glass House Andrew Powell MP celebrated the news with the students and staff following the announcement of the significant funding to upgrade their facilities.
The school was granted $453,757 under the 2023-24 Schools Subsidy Scheme.
“I recently popped into the school and met grade three students Rosie and Danny to hear their thoughts on the news,” Mr Powell said.
“They were very excited about the possibilities and eagerly shared their dreams for bigger and better play equipment. Fortunately, I know Principal Mr Adam Montgomery is keen to hear from the students and the parents on their ideas for the area.”
“The school has been furiously fundraising and will be chipping in more than $100,000 themselves. Combined, the funds will also allow them to address some longstanding drainage issues on the site of the playground,” continued Mr Powell.
The SSS assists schools with the cost of projects that aim to enhance learning outcomes for students and the community. These are jobs that often fall outside of the scope of other infrastructure programs offered by the Department of Education. All Queensland state schools are eligible to seek funding to initiate projects of $50,000 – $500,000.
