A re-elected Cook Labor Government has committed its support for major upgrades to Spencer Park Education Support Centre in Albany.

The school provides a specialist setting for students in kindergarten to year 6 with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities and those with extensive learning needs.

WA Labor has committed $12 million to deliver significant upgrades to the school, which includes refurbishments for ageing classrooms as well as accessibility and general campus upgrades.

It builds on WA Labor’s major education infrastructure announcement last week, with $745 million committed for new and improved schools across the State, including an unprecedented $286 million

School Infrastructure Fund for major upgrades to older schools.

Comments attributed to Education Minister Tony Buti:

“We want every WA student to have the best possible education."

“Education has a crucial role to play to ensure those living with disability receive equal access to learning opportunities and are fully included in all aspects of society."

“This announcement reflects WA Labor’s commitment to ensuring each student’s individual needs are met, to support them reach their full potential.”

Comments attributed to Albany MLA Rebecca Stephens:

“Spencer Park Education Support Centre is a valued and important part of our Albany community, doing incredible work with our young people during their early school years."

“It’s so important the infrastructure at places like Spencer Park is modern and equipped to support students to reach their full potential, and if re-elected as the local member for Albany, I really look forward to delivering these necessary upgrades for our community.”
