Joseph Banks Secondary College - Stage Two

This week residents of Banksia Grove and surrounding suburbs received great news with the provision of $22.5 million to fund the Stage 2 works at Joseph Banks Secondary College.

"The College opened earlier this year and has already become a school of choice, attracting students from the local area as well as surrounding suburbs." Hon Peter Katsambanis MLC, Member for North Metropolitan Region, said.

Stage 2 is due to be completed by the start of the 2018 school year, ensuring that local students have access to first class facilities and high quality teaching so that they can maximise their potential in life.
