Students and staff at Red Bend Catholic College will benefit from an Australian Government grant of $46,000 under the Investing in Our Schools Programme, Federal Member for Parkes, John Cobb, said.

The grant will be used to install reverse cycle air conditioning / heating units in a number of classrooms and move the existing evaporative air conditioning to another part of the school.

Principal Brother John Hilet said the school was very pleased with the grant and would order the unis as soon as it received written confirmation.

He said the window-mounted evaporative units had been making a lot of noise in the classrooms and would be better suited to their new location on the roof of another building.

The reverse cycle systems will also be particularly welcome in the winter months.

“This will mean all ground floor rooms in the front of the school will have reverse cycle air conditioning,” Br Hilet said.

Mr Cobb said the Investing in Our Schools Programme was especially significant because it funded projects identified by school communities .

“These projects, though often desperately needed by schools, never seem to make it on to priority lists,” he said.

“Rather school communities must face the arduous task of raising the funding themselves.”
