Special school, special funds

A LOCAL government special school has received a funding boost of $20,000.
Cranbourne’s Marnebek School is celebrating after receiving money to upgrade technical equipment.
The school will share in $15 million of Brumby Government grants to buy, hire, refurbish or upgrade technical equipment.

The school offers educational and social programs to students aged between five and 18.
All students have been assessed as having a mild, moderate or profound intellectual disability.
