construction in 500 Victorian government schools to help stimulate the
economy and the construction industry through the Federal Government’s
Building the Education Revolution.
In an historic sporting first, Victoria will have an all-female school
football squad representing the state in the first national secondary
school girls’ football championship to be held in Queensland next month.
Education Minister Bronwyn Pike announced today that CSG Services Pty
Ltd will join forces with the Brumby Labor Government to deliver the
Ultranet project to every Victorian government school and to secure
more than 55 new jobs over the next year.
Some of Victoria’s most disadvantaged Government secondary schools will
share in $198 million to build state-of-the-art Science and Language
Centres at 109 Victorian schools under the Federal Government’s $1
billion funding initiative as part of the Building the Education
Revolution program.
The Brumby Labor Government has signed contracts worth more than $450
million that will secure more than 1500 Victorian jobs and see
construction start soon at hundreds of government schools cross the
state as part of Round 1 of the massive Building the Education
Revolution school rebuilding program.
Victorian school students will be even better equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st Century as 32 schools across the state develop innovative learning projects thanks to a new $200,000 Brumby Labor Government technology grant.
