Gosford East Public School has received more than $11,000 to replace outdated equipment as part of the NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said students, staff and parents would enjoy a significant upgrade in facilities which will further strengthen the strong ties that the school has with the local community.
“An upgraded sound system for the school hall, a barbecue for fundraisers and a marquee with the school logo for sporting events will go a long way in allowing the school to show off its fantastic school spirit and increase engagement with the broader community,” she said.
Tesch congratulated the school’s P&C Association for its “tireless efforts” to ensure the children’s education and school life is as good as it gets.
“I thank them alongside the school’s staff (for) providing our children an engaging learning environment,” Tesch said.
Gosford East Public School P&C Association Vice President Amanda Malone said the funding would help advance the school.
“The marquee will be used at many school events, the sound system will be brilliant for the school, and the barbecue will not only be used at fundraising events but also for rewards for the students,” she said.
“The funding provided helps us keep moving forward.”
