"It will benefit the school and the local community for years to come," Ms Tuckerman said.
Each of the ten halls will be custom-designed based on the schools' needs, and features may include performing arts spaces, sports courts, canteen and storage facilities or out-of-school hours care facilities and covered learning areas.
Plans will be shared with the local communities as the project progresses.
The Department of Education is working to complete the detailed hall designs and tenders for the project will begin before the end of the year, with construction scheduled to start across all projects in early 2021.
Covid-19 regional renewal plan boosts Goulburn electorate schools
The state government will partner with local schools to fund infrastructure projects in a $120 million stimulus package, which is part of the Covid-19 recovery plan.
Member for Goulburn, Wendy Tuckerman, said all schools in the Goulburn electorate are eligible to apply for funding.
"I know our school communities are always working hard to raise funds for additional projects," Mrs Tuckerman said.
It is hoped the program would help the local economy by creating local jobs.
"Wherever possible, local contractors and suppliers will be engaged to ensure that the impact of this stimulus is felt in our electorate," Mrs Tuckerman said.
The program will co-fund renovated and new facilities such as covered outdoor learning areas, toilet blocks, administration buildings and canteens. A variety of smaller projects will support local business and jobs in the region during the recovery from Covid-19.
