NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, was in Killarney Vale on Friday, February 26, for the sod-turning ceremony to mark the start of a major upgrade at Brooke Avenue Public School.
She said this was the latest community to benefit from the historic school building program, the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.
“Local students will enjoy a new building with modern classrooms and a new sports court,” the Premier said.
“We want to ensure that every child, no matter where they are from, has access to a top-quality education.”
Parliamentary Secretary for Central Coast, Adam Crouch, said the NSW Government was delivering its election commitment to replace demountable classrooms with new, future-focussed teaching spaces.
“The project will see a new building delivered with four permanent teaching spaces and a new sports court,” he said.
“Tuggerah based company, North Construction & Building, has been selected to undertake this work and I am delighted that it will provide 20 local jobs and support the community to recover from the economic impacts of COVID-19.”
The new building will be located on the site of the existing sports courts, which will be relocated to another area.
