South Burnett schools could buy new equipment, undertake building projects or source extra targeted support via a new Federal grant program.<\/p>\n

The Local Schools Community Fund (LSCF) offers grants up to $20,000 for projects that benefit children’s learning experience.<\/p>\n

Federal Member for Wide Bay Llew O\u2019Brien said the LSCF would contribute amounts between $1000 and $20,000 towards a variety of school projects and associated costs.<\/p>\n

“This is an excellent opportunity for schools to apply for funding for projects like new playground equipment, renovating a classroom or improving sports facilities,” Mr O\u2019Brien said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d encourage all schools to think about what they could do with a share of the funds that would deliver real benefits and improve the quality of education for their students.”<\/p>\n

The fund will open for applications on Thursday (July 25).<\/strong><\/p>\n

LSCF is open to government, independent and Catholic schools.<\/p>\n

However, eligibility conditions apply and proposed projects will be assessed by a committee appointed by local Federal MPs.<\/p>\n

Worthwhile projects could include small-scale extensions or classroom refurbishments, new computer facilities, mental health and counselling services, playground equipment, library resources, or sports facilities.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government announced the $30.2 million LSCF in the 2019 Budget.<\/p>\n

Up to $200,000 is available in each Federal electorate.<\/p>\n

Applications should be made through SchoolsHUB<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

They will close on September 30 and projects must be completed by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
