The $6 million includes delivering modern infrastructure for Latrobe Special Developmental School and Traralgon College

The Labor Government is building the Education State so every Victorian student can get a great education and every community has access to a great local school.

This includes an unprecedented $3.8 billion investment to improve classrooms, upgrade facilities and build new schools across the state.

This school building boom has delivered more than 1,300 school upgrades and 70 new school projects across the state, supporting more than 5,000 construction jobs for Victorians.

To find out more about new schools and upgrades to schools in Gippsland visit the Victorian School Building Authority website at www.schoolbuildings.vic.gov.au.
