Golden Plains Shire Council welcomes the Victorian Government’s recent IT grants to five local kindergartens.
During Council’s Election Period in late September, the Victorian Government announced Golden Plains Shire Council would receive $6,958 from the Building Blocks Improvement 2020-21 Information Technology program. This funding will provide new IT equipment at five Council-operated Kindergarten Services in Golden Plains Shire. Council’s kindergartens in Teesdale, Inverleigh, Meredith and Bannockburn will purchase new computers, and the Rokewood kindergarten will receive a new iPad and printer.
This grant funding will ensure improved access and support children’s learning in the kindergarten environment, and enable Council’s dedicated educators to connect more effectively with families in supporting the continuity of children’s learning at home.
Golden Plains Shire CEO Eric Braslis welcomed the funding and the benefit the new equipment will bring to the Council’s kindergarten services.
“Our educators have done an outstanding job during this challenging year, and with new computers, iPads and printers, they will be able to better connect with families and support the continuity of children’s learning in the kinder or at home.
“Council thanks the Victorian Government for this valuable funding grant to support kindergarten services in Golden Plains Shire.”
