Primary Schools for the 21st Century: NSW North Coast schools come up trumps in funding round

The Rudd Government's Education Revolution program is now in full swing and (despite contentious issues surrounding proposed publication of school league tables, teaching skills assessment and alleged bad planning/contractor rorting of the associated Round One building program) it is delivering results on the ground when it comes to funding for NSW North Coast primary schools.
