Member for Bendigo West, Maree Edwards announced Bowden Corporation Pty Ltd has been appointed to refurbish the toilet block to improve amenity, cleanliness and hygiene.
The state government has provided $455,665 towards the project.
She said the government was now ahead of schedule in its commitment to open 100 new schools by 2026, with 62 new schools opening between 2019 and 2024.
"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."
While much of this funding went on new schools and significant upgrades to help meet increasing demand, the Minor Capital Works fund is about delivering the small projects that make a big difference while also supporting local jobs.
