Umina Beach Public School has been allocated $22,000 from the 2022 Community Building Partnership Program for outdoor lighting to improve access, safety and security.
Member for Gosford Liesl Teschsaid outdoor lighting is integral to school communities.
“The installation of outdoor lighting is important to ensuring that communities can gather safely,” she said.
“Well done to the P&C for its efforts in receiving this funding; I know outdoor lighting will play a major role in expanding its abilities to host whole-school events outside of school hours.”
P&C President Lucy Lamont said the outdoor lighting would help create an environment that promotes safety for the school community beyond the normal school hours.
“When we bring our kids together, it’s important that it is in a safe environment, so being able to host evets outside of the classroom and socialise with other students safely is a big addition,” she said.
Tesch also congratulated the P&C on recently being named NSW P&C Association of the Year.
“It is fantastic that we have such high calibre P&Cs right here on the Central Coast,” she said.
