Construction is under way on the $13.7 million upgrade of Broadford Primary School, with students and staff to soon learn and teach in a number of brand-new buildings.

A new, state-of-the-art science and art building will open up new opportunities in STEM and the arts for students, while a new administration building will give hard-working local teachers a better place to work.
A refurbishment of the school’s Block A will also be completed by the end of the year, and the school’s former library and performing arts building are now being demolished to make way for the new buildings.
State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes said the upgrades, funded by the Victorian Government, would open up new opportunities for local students.
“This is about more than new buildings – it’s about giving kids in Broadford world-class opportunities close to home,” Ms Symes said.
“Only Labor is delivering state-of-the-art learning facilities for the regions, with 30 per cent of our investment in school upgrades going to rural and regional Victoria.”
The project was one of over 2400 school upgrades across the state being delivered by the Victorian Government.
