School Subsidy Success Stories: Brooklyn Public School

School Subsidy Success Stories: Brooklyn Public School


One of the standout success stories from our School Subsidy Program is Brooklyn Public school who was the recipient of the largest subsidy grant totalling $9,780 in funding to upgrade seating in the playground. This much-needed project replaces the outdated and non-functional seating, creating a welcoming and practical space for students and the broader community.

The new seating provides students with a comfortable area to sit and enjoy their recess and lunch off the ground. It also enhances the school’s capacity to host events, offering a convenient and durable space for families and community members to gather.

With the previous seating no longer usable due to extensive wear, this upgrade was crucial. The newly installed seating not only meets the school’s immediate needs but also offers a long-term solution requiring no ongoing maintenance.
