Staff and students at St Martins Lutheran College in Mount Gambier will benefit from the development of a new master plan funded as part of the Morrison Government’s Capital Grants Program.

Federal Member for Barker Tony Pasin said the Australian Government will provide $8,500 towards the project at St Martin’s Lutheran College through the Capital Grants Program.

“Students and staff at St Martin’s Lutheran College would benefit from a new master plan that would support future upgrades and expected growth in student numbers at the school, enabling the school to strategically plan for the future,” Mr Pasin said.

“St Martins Lutheran College has a wonderful school community, and this new master plan will further enhance the learning environment that the school can offer to the students.” Mr Pasin said.

“Students and teachers thrive when their schools have modern and up-to-date facilities – that’s why the Morrison Government is proud of the Capital Grants Program, which has helped thousands of schools across the nation.” Mr Pasin said.

“Our Government is ensuring that every child gets a high-quality education no matter where they go to school. We are providing a record $315.2 billion for all Australian schools between 2018 and 2029.”

“We are delivering real, needs-based funding that is matched by national reforms that will drive better results and outcomes, as recommended by David Gonski in the Review to Achieve Educational Excellence in Australian Schools.

“I congratulate St Martins Lutheran College on their successful grant application and look forward to seeing the positive impact the new master plan will have on students and our community.”
