Staff and students at Sunbury College now have the state-of-the-art science facilities they deserve, thanks to the Andrews Government.

Minister for Education James Merlino joined Member for Sunbury Josh Bull at Sunbury College today to open their new $3.5 Million science wing.

“This brand-new science wing will be an incredible boost for Sunbury College students.” Minister for Education James Merlino said.

“We need more young Victorians to discover a passion for science and these facilities will inspire a love for science at Sunbury College.”

Redevelopment designed by PMDL Architecture and built by 2Construct provides specialised practical, theory and prep rooms as well as general learning spaces, collaborative areas and a staff workroom.

Andrews Government is transforming Victoria into the Education State, setting targets across all learning areas, including seeing 33 % more 15-year-olds achieving the highest levels of achievement in science literacy by 2025.

“It’s fantastic to see students at Sunbury College putting their new science facility to use. This is all part of keeping our commitment to Sunbury college and the broader community.” Member for Sunbury Josh Bull said.

“This science wing will equip them with the knowledge and skills to thrive in school and beyond.”

Sunbury College also secured $4.8 Million in funding for Stage 2 works through the 2016-17 Victorian State Budget, which will see the existing library converted into a creative arts wing featuring spaces for media, digital arts, visual communications and music.
