1452 - SCHOOLS FUNDING MECHANISMS WALLSEND ELECTORATE

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education representing the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning

Considering that some public schools in the Wallsend Electorate are in competition with groups such as community groups, sporting organisations and churches for community grants, what mechanisms are available for schools to seek more funding from the Department to address maintenance and infrastructure issues?

 
Answer -

Schools can contact their local Asset Management Unit to discuss funding options for maintenance and infrastructure projects.

Maintenance and capital funding is available to schools and is allocated annually. This includes funding for minor and major works projects.

In addition, the Department of Education has specialist funding programs which are available to schools. The Asset Management Unit can assist school principals to identify funding pathways and submit funding applications.
