Grants for shade and air-conditioning

Woy Woy Public School has received a Federal Government grant of $96,686 for shade structures, while Woy Woy South Public School has received $50,515 for air-conditioning.

"Since being elected as the Federal Member for Robertson in 1996, securing funding for our local schools has been one of my highest priorities," said Mr Jim Lloyd, announcing the grants.

"Such projects, though often desperately needed by schools, never seem to make it on to State Government priority lists.

"Rather school communities usually face the long and arduous task of raising the necessary funding themselves.

"The Howard Government recognises the importance of providing schools with facilities that will enhance the education and wellbeing of students."
