he Andrews Government will build a dozen new schools as part of a $353 million package aimed at catering to an explosion in student numbers in Victoria’s growth areas.
As the state prepares for 90,000 extra students to pack its classrooms over the next five years, the Education Minister said the investment was necessary to prevent schools being “overrun”.
The 12 new schools will be built on Melbourne’s northern, western and south-eastern fringes, in Seddon in Melbourne’s inner-west and in Geelong and Ballarat.
