Official opening of the St Joachim's Community Centre
St Joachim’s Primary School in Carrum Downs has officially opened the St Joachim’s Community 
Centre, which will give the local community a modern learning facility.
The multi-purpose centre was funded with $2.5 million from the Labor Government’s Building the Education Revolution program, which supported local jobs while giving schools state-of-the-art facilities during the global financial crisis.
Mark Dreyfus, Federal Member for Isaacs, said that this is a wonderful day for the St Joachim’s Primary School community.
“It is great to see St Joachim’s finally get a facility that will bring their school into the 21st century,” Mark Dreyfus said.
“I’ve been working hard with principal Desmond Noak to make sure this project went ahead smoothly and quickly, and St Joachim’s now has a facility that will help attract students and teachers from around the region to their terrific school.”
“I’m sure that the kids here at St Joachim’s will get a lot out of the learning and play equipment, particularly when it comes to sport, music and the arts.”
