Delivering Great Local Schools for Cranbourne

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will invest $587,000 for two outdoor hardcourt covers at Cranbourne East Secondary College.

This builds on the $169,000 we have already invested to build a new inclusive playground, making Cranbourne East Secondary College a more accessible school for students and their families.  

Only a Labor Government will make sure local families have access to the best school facilities – supporting kids to do their best in the classroom, and beyond. 

Since coming to government, we have invested more than $12.8 billion in building and upgrading schools in every corner of the state. 

We’re delivering on our promise to build 100 new schools by 2026 with 75 already funded or opened, and we’ve delivered more than 1,850 upgrades to schools since coming to government.  

That means hundreds of thousands of students are learning in more modern classrooms, science labs and libraries and benefitting from better school gyms and sports grounds.  

And by building and upgrading schools across the state, we’ve supported more than 17,400 jobs in construction alone. 

We’ve invested more in student mental health and wellbeing than any other jurisdiction in Australia, putting mental health workers into every government school.  

We’ve made sure every child has the chance to participate in the activities that make school fun, through the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund.  

And we’ve reformed the senior secondary school system, combining VCE and VCAL to create the VCE Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate – ensuring every young Victorian can get the education they need for the job they want.

Matthew Guy’s Liberals Liberals can’t be trusted when it comes to the future of our kids. When in government, they cut more than $1 billion from education, further cementing their legacy of cuts closures.  

Only Labor will deliver the school upgrades our kids deserve –only Labor will do what matters.  

Quotes attributable to Minister for Education Natalie Hutchins   

“Our teachers do an amazing job educating Victorian students. Labor is backing their work, delivering new and upgraded classrooms and learning spaces at schools right across the state.” 

“We want our students to have what they need to succeed in the classroom – and beyond. Because only Labor believes that every child deserves a great education.” 

Quotes attributable to Labor Member for Cranbourne Pauline Richards  

“Every family should have a great local school. That’s why I’m so proud the Andrews Labor Government will deliver outdoor hardcourts at Cranbourne East Secondary College so kids in Cranbourne have the world-class facilities they deserve.”  

“The best teachers can’t do the best job in ageing classrooms and out-of-date facilities. That’s why we’ve invested more than $12.8 billion to build and upgrade schools in every corner of the state – making sure every student has every chance.”
