“It was great to visit St James’ Anglican School and see the new facilities firsthand and the impact they will have on students’ learning potential,” Mr Porter said.

“These new learning spaces take into account the latest in education research and will see students learn more effectively.”

He said the Federal Government provided $694,600 from the Capital Grants Program, which funds non-government schools to improve capital infrastructure.

Mr Birmingham said the Government’s recurrent funding growth will be tied to a range of evidence-based initiatives to support students by focussing on outcomes in literacy, numeracy and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects.
