MOOROOPNA families will have access to a range of early learning, family and health services at a single convenient location, with the Mooroopna Primary School set to have a new integrated early learning centre built at the school.
Co-locating the early learning centre at the school will make drop-off and pick-up times easier for parents of young children, while providing greater support for children in their transition to school.
The centre will deliver education, care, health and support services to children and their families.
The facility is funded through $20.5M allocated to the Shepparton Education Plan, which will also deliver the new Shepparton High School as part of a long-term plan to transform education in the region.
Minister for Education, James Merlino said, “Making Victoria the Education State starts with the early years, which is why we’re investing in first-rate early learning facilities to set up our youngest Victorians for the best start in life.”
Minister for Early Childhood Education, Jenny Mikakos said, “This new early learning centre will be fantastic for not just the school but the local community too, making drop-off and pick-up times much easier for local parents.”
Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp said, “The Shepparton Education Plan is about strengthening every stage of education in the region – whether it’s early years, primary, secondary or beyond.”
