Building extension works have commenced this week at Ecolinc and is due to continue until early 2018. We will continue to provide programs onsite, however, visiting schools will notice quite a bit of work being undertaken on our Resource Room and the construction of new rooms at the back of Ecolinc. This should not affect the quality of the programs we deliver. However, whilst these works are being undertaken, there may be some disruption to services, including telephones, internet etc. We are endeavouring to work with the builders to minimise the impact of these disruptions but should they occur, we ask schools to please be patient and to contact us on the mobile 0407501590 or email us at Ecolinc@edumail.vic.gov.au
