As part of the state government’s cooler classroom fund, Gralee School, Leeton High School, Leeton Public School, Parkview Public School, Yanco Public School, Yanco Agricultural High School, Wamoon Public School and Whitton-Murrami Public School will all receive new air-conditioning.

“I’ve spoken to many people across our vast electorate who have stressed the importance of air conditioning in our classrooms, so I’m thrilled our electorate is a big winner in the program,” he said.

Previously only schools with an average maximum January temperature of 33 degrees or more were air-conditioned.
