Ms Ley revealed a total of $200,000 to fund local projects shared between 14 local schools across the electorate, including new shade sails for students at Mathoura Public School (pictured)
“Our government understands the important role schools play in each and every local community, as well as the desire and need to improve amenities and the environment for their students.”
“In Farrer we received well over 60 separate proposals, which an independent committee narrowed down to 14 successful applicants to fit into the capped funding amount of $200k for each federal electorate.”
“Congratulations to each of the successful schools; I look forward to seeing each and every one of the projects and outcome over the next 12 months.”
