The opening of 12 new classrooms at moorabbin Primary School saw joy on the faces of local pupils, said Southern Metropolitan MLC Ryan Batchelor.
The new classrooms and a first-class science room – state-of-the-art facilities – were funded by a $15 million investment from the State Government in the 2021–22 budget, Mr Batchelor said.
“I was there at the official opening with my colleague the member for Bentleigh, Nick Staikos, who has been an absolute champion for this school.
“The opening of the new classrooms and science rooms marks the completion of stage 1 of the redevelopment project at Moorabbin Primary School, which has enabled the school to offer an additional 300 places to local students. “For stage 2, which is underway and going at a rapid clip, an incredible new competition-grade gymnasium is being built on the school grounds. We are investing in community facilities. For families in Highett, in Hampton East and in Moorabbin, they have access to an even better local school, and for their kids that attend Moorabbin Primary School the future has never been brighter,” Mr Batchelor said.
