The following local schools will benefit from funding:
- Lurnea Public School – $12,000 to upgrade or improve existing outdoor learning spaces
- Hoxton Park High School - $25,000 to build new outdoor learning spaces
- Heckenberg Public School - $25,000 to purchase and/or upgrade ICT equipment (including laptops and tablets), and provision of flexible learning arrangements for students

- EDEN College - $9,025 to upgrade an existing outdoor learning space and install a shade structure.
The funding is part of a $250 million commitment to improve school infrastructure.
All schools across the country were invited to apply for the funding and projects were assessed by the Department of Education and selected based on need.
Schools were able to apply for grants of up to $25,000 to support much needed improvements to facilities and learning environments.
The Albanese Labor Government is delivering on our promise to invest in our schools and there is more to come.
