Funding News
The following is from a press release from Jenny Mikakos MP.

MORE JOBS AND BETTER SCHOOLS ACROSS THE INNER NORTH

The Andrews Labor Government will fix old buildings, deliver extra classrooms and
build ten brand new schools in a state-wide construction blitz that will create
thousands of jobs across the state and kickstart Victoria’s economy.

Member for Northern Metropolitan Region, Jenny Mikakos MP, today announced
Brunswick North West Primary School and Pascoe Vale South Primary School will
share in $388.8 million for 57 upgrade and modernisation projects at schools across
Victoria. This includes all school upgrades the Andrews Labor Government committed
to at the 2018 election.

Ms Mikakos announced Carlton Gardens Primary School in Melbourne is among

nine metropolitan schools to share in an investment of $130.1 million to help
provide additional capacity to meet enrolment growth. When completed, these
projects, part of the Established Areas Program, will provide 1,550 extra spaces for
Victorian students.

Carlton Gardens Primary School will receive at least $10.59 million to

deliver an upgrade and modernisation of the school, including adding
new facilities for an additional 150 students to meet enrolment growth
for the 2022 school year.

This project is part of the Andrews Labor Government’s Building Works package,
which will deliver $2.7 billion in shovel-ready projects – big and small – to get
thousands of people back to work across our state.

The Andrews Labor Government is building the Education State so everyone can get a
great education, no matter their background or where they live.

CARLTON GARDENS PRIMARY – T2, 2020

RESUMPTION OF SERVICE
WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS FROM 29TH MAY!
Greetings to everyone at CGPS!
We hope that you and your families have all managed well through the Covid19 Change of
Life.
It’s been wonderful and we are extremely grateful to have received so many emails from
your school community sending kind wishes to our business in what has been a particularly
difficult time…..obviously, we’ve been totally shuttered but it’s now time, as our children
return to face to face learning, to take tentative steps back to life - with your continued
support.

Obviously, the landscape looks a bit different for us in terms of running our Food
Preparation Kitchen and our Packing Room with the new social distancing guidelines. We
want you to know and be assured that we have Food Safety and Occupation Health and
Safety at the forefront of our minds. In our workplace Masks, Gloves and Temperature
Checks will be the new norm for all of our staff. In terms of Food Handling and Safety we’ve
always adhered to best practice and fortunately never had a food safety issue so we’re
confident we can operate safely on that level!

In the first instance for the remainder of Term 2, while we find our way in this new normal,
we will be operating on Wednesdays and Fridays with a reduced Menu which will be posted
online shortly.

We look forward to resuming our service and continuing to delight your school community
with our Lunch Service.
