The building project referred to by the deputy is being funded under the Department’s Additional Accommodation Scheme 2021.

The project will provide refurbishment of 1,150 square metres of existing permanent accommodation. This accommodation includes the following provision: 6 general classrooms; a staff room; a Principal’s office; a general office; a meeting room; a multi-sensory room; a general purpose area. It also includes the relocation of an existing home economics room and science lab and upgrade works to internal doors and the alarm system.

I am pleased to inform the deputy that the project has recently been approved by the Department to go to construction.
