"Every student should have a great school, no matter where they live," she said. "That's why we're investing in hundreds of small but important projects that will make a big difference for schools and create jobs for Victorians.

"We're making sure that our schools have the best facilities, our classrooms have the best teachers and that every child is given every chance to succeed.

"Both school communities are a step closer to getting the great local school facilities their kids need to thrive with the appointment of these architects."
