The Allan Labor Government is ensuring every child can attend a great local school.

That’s why Labor is investing in new facilities for low-fee Catholic schools.

Member for Ripon Martha Haylett today announced that a new STEM facility at Marian College is now open thanks to a $2 million investment from the Allan Labor Government.

Students will be learning in a state-of-the-art centre tailored to support 21st Century STEM learning.

A brand-new new library and resource centre will also open for the College’s nearly 400 students.

These facilities were delivered through a $2 million investment from Labor and a $2.5 million contribution from Marian College.

Labor has invested nearly $1 billion to build, expand and renovate Victoria’s low-fee Catholic and non-government schools.

It’s all to make sure families can access schools with state-of-the-art facilities, close to home.

“Whether it’s upgrading our public schools or low-fee Catholic and independent schools, Victorian families can rely on Labor to invest in their children’s future.”

“We’re building the Education State – helping low-fee Catholic schools upgrade their facilities. Will the Liberals and Nationals back this investment, or will they cut it?”
