The Victorian Government has appointed a building company to construct the last four of 14 new schools set to open in 2021.
Minister for Education, James Merlino, made the announcement that Kane Constructions had been appointed to build:

The projects fall under that state’s $6.1 billion investment to build 100 new schools and upgrade more than 1,400 existing ones by 2026.

The architecturally designed schools have been designed to cater to the diverse needs of all Victorian students and provide what they need to actively engage with their education.
“We know that Victoria’s population is booming – that’s why we’re building 100 new schools and upgrading existing schools to meet the needs of our growing communities,” Mr Merlino said.
