\nFederal Member for Newcastle, Sharon Claydon has announced $200,000 worth of funding for local schools through the new Local Schools Community Fund program. The list of successful schools are below.
\nThe number of applications received in Newcastle far exceeded the $200,000 cap on this new program, highlighting the dire need for increased funding for our schools.
\nThe applications were assessed by a local schools panel with representation from each of the Government, Catholic and Independent school sectors.
\nMs Claydon said that all Newcastle schools deserve increased funding and resources to deliver quality education for our kids.
\n\u201cHeading into Christmas, any additional funding for our local schools is welcome news. I know the successful schools will be thrilled to kick off 2020 with much needed funding for their respective projects.\u201d
\nUnfortunately, despite receiving many worthy applications, there are many important projects left unfunded.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s no news yet on whether the Government will run the Local Schools Community Fund again\u201d
\n\u201cWhat is clear is that the schools in our community need additional funding and support to continue to deliver a great education for our kids\u201d
\n\u201cI have written to the Federal Minister for Education, the Hon. Dan Tehan MP, asking him to support my request for additional funds, outside the Local Schools Community Fund program, to ensure that worthy projects that were unsuccessful under this program can still proceed.
\n\u201cI will continue to advocate strongly for extra funding for our Newcastle Schools.\u201d
