Member for Bendigo West, Maree Edwards said the funding would make a real difference to Bendigo Special Developmental School and other schools throughout the state.

“These projects are all about giving our primary schools the equipment and infrastructure they need to inspire a lifelong passion for learning for all of their students and to show that disability isn’t a barrier to learning and achieving,” Ms Edwards said.

Other grant recipients included Specimen Hill Primary School, which was awarded $200,000 to build a sensory garden designed for students with autism spectrum disorder.
