By | News

Ben Carroll visited the East Keilor campus on Friday (08/09/2023). He gave us the good
news that $2 million has been allocated the begin planning and design work to upgrade
and modernise the school, including the East Keilor Campus, with a focus on poor
condition education facilities. The money is for planning for a projected enrolment of 300
at the East Keilor campus. The current building is twice the size of what is needed so planning will
most likely mean a demolition and rebuild. This is a great outcome and guarantees the future of the
campus and the viability of the College well into the future.
