Education once again receives a big boost
Bulk funding grants awarded to Kuranui College, Greytown School, Greytown Kindergarten and Greytown Early Years were recently “handed over” by the Trust’s Chairman, Sid Kempton. All in all Trustees approved the release of funding totaling $71,600 in support of a variety of proposals submitted for consideration by the four education providers.
“Trustees commend our local education providers for their continued commitment to delivering the best possible educational outcomes for Greytown kids, as evidenced by the quality of their submissions”, said Sid. As an example of the difference this funding will make, look out for Greytown School’s new bike skills track and senior playground improvements which are due to be completed during the 2020 academic year.
