The upgraded classrooms at St Paul’s Primary School are now officially open.

State Member for Bentleigh Nick Staikos joined Premier Dan Andrews at the school today, where the Victorian Government has invested $1 million to upgrade the junior school building.

The grant is from the Labor Government’s $402 million Non-Government Schools Capital Fund.

In the past seven years, the Government has invested more than $10.9 billion in building new schools and more than 1,700 school upgrades, creating around 13,500 jobs in construction and associated industries.

The Labor Government is building the Education State so that every student can access a great local school and get a quality education.
