Mr Merlino visited Portland Primary School, Portland Secondary School, Casterton Secondary College and Portland Bay School to discuss the progress of upgrades.
Portland Bay School received $7 million for a new building and relocation after its old building had been closed due to electrical faults.
Portland Secondary College received $2 million and Casterton Secondary College received $750,000.
