A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will transform the old Endeavour Hills Secondary School site into a brand-new special school for local children with additional needs.<\/p>\n
Member for Dandenong, Gabrielle Williams, today announced the site on Amalfi Drive would be transformed into a world-class special school to service growing demand for schools in the south east.
\nIn the 2018\/19 Victorian Budget, the Andrews Labor Government committed planning funding for a new Endeavour Hills Special School. And now, if re-elected, Labor will fully fund the school build, to open in 2022.<\/p>\n
Endeavour Hills Secondary College was closed by the previous Liberal\/National government and has sat derelict ever since. The Endeavour Hills community has campaigned for re-development of the site since the closure.<\/p>\n
This announcement comes as part of the $850 million investment to be delivered by a re-elected Labor Government that includes 10, now fully funded, new schools to open across the southeastern suburbs.<\/p>\n
The new schools will ensure that with every child in the south-east, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to a great local school which serves their needs.<\/p>\n
Across the state, investment from a re-elected Labor Government will see 45 schools open within the next four years. A special planning fund for another 55 schools will also be implemented, which will ensure families can have confidence that Victoria\u2019s education system is well prepared as the state grows.<\/p>\n
Every child should have a great local school and the chance to achieve and succeed. Only a reelected Labor Government will deliver that for kids across our outer suburbs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
