Clonard College’s new library was officially opened by Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson last week.

The Federal Government provided $1.5 million in funding to the project.
Ms Henderson opened the new Brigidine Centre at the Herne Hill school on behalf of federal Education Minister Dan Tehan.

‘It was great to visit Clonard College and see the new facilities firsthand and the impact they will have on students’ learning potential,’ Ms Henderson said.

‘These new learning spaces take into account the latest in educational research and will see students learn more effectively.

‘Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities — that’s why the Federal Government is proud of the Capital Grants Program, which has benefited thousands of schools across the nation.’ 

The Federal Government has committed $660 million until 2021 for funding for non-government schools to improve their capital infrastructure. Information on the grants program can be found at https://www.dese.gov.au/payments-and-grants-schools/capital-grants-non-government-schools
