Member for The Entrance, David Mehan recently visited Central Coast Steiner School to see first-hand the benefits of $8,250 in funding provided to the School under the Community Building Partnership Program.
The funding allowed the school to install two triple nozzle wall-mounted drinking fountain and bottle refill stations, one at the primary school and one at the high school.
This project is one of more than 19,700 funded by the NSW Government Program since its commencement in 2009.
“Keeping hydrated at school is important and the drinking fountain and bottle refill stations ensure that our kids have access to clean, fresh water throughout the school day, crucial for their health and wellbeing,” Mehan said.
Central Coast Steiner School, located in Fountaindale, will also be the first school on the Central Coast to offer the International Baccalaureate IB Diploma Program.
This program will mean that students in Years 11 and 12 have the opportunity to participate in a program that is widely recognised by universities and employers in Australia and internationally.
“The school’s decision to be the first on the Central Coast to offer an internationally recognised program also means that there is more opportunity for our children’s studies to be recognised internationally, should they wish to study or work abroad,” Mehan said.
Applications for the next round of the Community Building Partnership Program will open soon.
