Classrooms are officially open

Member for Robertson Mr Jim Lloyd, officially opened new Federally-funded school classrooms at Woy Woy and Empire Bay on Friday, July 20.

St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School at Woy Woy received $46,000 for a new multi-purpose learning centre.

Empire Bay Primary School received $116,638 for a new community and music room.

The new infrastructure was built with grants from the Australian Government's Investing in Our Schools Program (IOSP).

The IOSP funds smaller-scale infrastructure projects and allows school communities to identify and prioritise their own needs independently.

Applications can be made for a wide range of projects, including improvements to library resources, computer facilities, play equipment, air conditioning and heating, outdoor shade structures, music facilities and instruments, playing fields and sporting infrastructure.
