Muhammadiyah Australia College is set to grow with the state government allocating $3.6 million in funding for the school.
Melton MP Steve McGhie announced the funding for college which is located in Melton to build three new classrooms, supporting the growing number of prospective students.
The project will also deliver a new library, conference room and staff room for the school, while the existing library will be transformed into three additional classrooms.
The funding is part of a $450 million fund, in partnership with the non-government school sector, to upgrade and build new non-government schools across the state.
The building fund for non-government schools will also help fund the removal of asbestos and cladding in non-government schools.
The funding will be distributed between sectors, with Catholic schools receiving at least 70 per cent and independent schools at least 30 per cent.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said they want to ensure every Victorian student has access to a quality school close to home, regardless of their background or where they live.
Mr McGhie said they are thrilled to support Muhammadiyah Australia College expand, supporting the next generation of students from diverse Muslim backgrounds.
“I look forward to visiting the school once the project has been completed to check in and see firsthand what it has to offer,” he said.
