Schools in Ellenbrook, Alkimos, Dayton and Butler to receive capital grants from Federal Government

SCHOOLS in Ellenbrook and Alkimos will receive more than $1 million each from the Federal Government’s capital grants program.

Pearce MHR Christian Porter recently announced four schools in his electorate secured funding, including $1.4 million for Northshore Christian Grammar School.

The Alkimos school, which opened in 2017, will use the funding to build specialist learning areas.

Holy Cross College in Ellenbrook secured more than $1 million for a sports centre, a health and physical education studio and a fitness centre.

Riverlands Montessori School in Dayton secured $260,000 for a library space with a meeting room, office and kitchen.

Another $203,460 went to Brighton Catholic Primary School in Butler to construct office tutorial space, a covered shelter and an extended staff room and reception.

“Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities,” Mr Porter said.

“The Government has committed $660 million until 2021, which provides funding for non-government schools to improve capital infrastructure.

“These upgrades will help advance each of these schools and ensure our classrooms have modern facilities.”
