Kurunjang Primary School

We updated and refurbished classrooms and facilities in poor condition to improve standards across the school.

The works targeted facilities that were most in need, ensuring the school has the learning facilities it requires to deliver modern education.​

The City of Melton built a community hub next to Kurujang Primary School. The hub hosts a range of activities that support community strengthening and development. ​

The Kurujang Community Hub features community rooms for a variety of active and passive learning programs. It has a meeting room for consultations with service providers, where school welfare officers can meet families away from formal school facilities.

There is also a kitchen space for small cooking demonstrations and classes, as well as a larger teaching kitchen, dining area and edible garden based on the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program.

The school can use the hub for curriculum learning, as well as other activities outside school hours.

In the 2016–17 State Budget, the Victorian Government invested $50 million into the Shared Facilities Fund. The program funds schools, councils and other institutions to develop shared facilities such as early learning centres, sports facilities and community hubs.

These co-located and shared facilities improve connections between school and community, build a sense of collective purpose and transform neighbourhoods.

We helped the school construct a covered walkway.
