The funding would be evenly spread across the schools in communities such as Beagle Bay and Balgo, directed towards critical facilities projects at the schools. Mr Buti said the pledged investment in Kimberley education aligned with his commitment when he first took on the education portfolio. “I want to see every child in Western Australia, no matter where they’re from, reach their full potential,” he said. In addition to the school funding, Mr Buti highlighted Labor’s $89m pledge for another round of the WA Student Assistance Payment if re-elected. Every parent with school-aged children in the State would be eligible for the payment, which provides $250 for secondary school students and $150 for primary school and kindergarten students. Member for the Kimberley Divina D’Anna, who joined Mr Buti on his Kimberley visit, said the pledged investments were about “making kids want to go to school and ensuring they can get the best start in life”. “WA Labor’s grant commitment will deliver important infrastructure upgrades for these schools, doing what’s right for students in the Kimberley,” Ms D’Anna said.
