Students in Morwell will soon have access to the first-rate classrooms and facilities they deserve, with work under way upgrading Kurnai College (Morwell Campus).

Member for Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing MP today announced commencement of construction on Kurnai College’s $1.5 million upgrade, which will help it deliver a 21st century education.

Farnham Developments has been appointed to build the upgrade, which will include the building of a Library.

Kurnai College’s upgrade will create local jobs, with work expected to be completed by December 2020.

Under the Andrews Labor Government’s school building boom, a total of 100 new schools will open by 2026, ensuring every child has a great local school and a great start in life.

The Andrews Labor Government has invested $6.1 billion to deliver more than 1,400 school upgrades, supporting over 7,500 construction jobs for Victorians.

The Labor Government is building the Education State so that every student can access a great local school and get a quality education.

Quotes attributable to Member Eastern Victoria, Harriet Shing MP

"These local upgrades are part of the school building boom that is happening right across Victoria."

"Upgrading Kurnai College will give local students access to great classrooms and facilities - because you can’t deliver a first-rate education in second-rate classrooms."
