Money for refurbishment

Woy Woy and Pretty Beach public schools will receive up to $275,000 for minor infrastructure and refurbishment under round two of the National School Pride program.

Works will include refurbishments such as painting, floor coverings and repairs to walls, floors, fittings, roofs, stormwater components and paved areas.

Woy Woy Public School will receive $200,000 of Federal Government funding while Pretty Beach Public School will be given $75,000 to carry out minor works.

Member for Robertson Ms Belinda Neal said: "The National School Pride program is one of three elements of the Rudd Government's $14.7 billion Building the Education Revolution and will deliver much-needed funding for school infrastructure projects and, importantly, support local jobs," Ms Neal said.

"Construction and refurbishment work will commence as soon as possible, with many of the National School Pride projects planned to begin shortly.

"The next few months will be exciting as the investment in our schools will flow down through to local business."
