The Local Schools Community Fund (the Fund) supports the Australian Government’s commitment to education by providing a contribution to schools for small-scale projects and their associated costs. Schools could apply for one project between $1,000 and $20,000. Projects will be for small-scale capital and non-capital initiatives.
| RECIPIENT | PROJECT | AG FUNDING |
|---|---|---|
| Beeac Primary School (2019) |
We have an unused tennis court which is permanently locked for OH&S reasons. The neighbouring school hall has had large ash trees growing along its boundary, the roots of which have destroyed our court. These were removed two years ago. However, the court base is in good condition. Apart from tennis, we would configure the court to become the first basketball court in Beeac. | $14,740 |
| Colac Specialist School (2019) |
Our school recently removed an unsafe playground, which has left us with a vacant and un-utilised area of our school. It was decided by our Student Representative Council that this space should be converted to a quiet, retreat space for our students, with the versatility to hold school and social events. Our students' desire is to have an outdoor setting that includes beautiful plants, seating, tables, barbecue and pizza oven. This would support our students welfare and life skills development. | $8,750 |
