Discussions are underway with Blaxland High School to develop plans for giving the school’s facilities a much-needed update.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car and Member for Blue Mountains Trish Doyle visited the school last week to announce the project and discuss options for delivering $1 million in upgrades to the school.
The work under consideration includes the refurbishment of the school’s existing performance space facilities to enhance the learning experience for dance and drama students.
At this early stage in the planning process, consultation is in progress and discussions will continue with the school and community to develop the final scope of the project, ensuring the upgrade meets critical needs.
Once the design phase is complete and all stakeholders are satisfied with the proposed plans, the project will move forward to the tender process for engaging a builder.
Updates on the final scope and progress of the project will be shared with the community.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:
“I am pleased to welcome the start of the process to deliver these improvements with the support of teachers, students, and the P&C association.
“We are committed to excellence in delivering facilities that inspire and empower our students and teachers, and I look forward to sharing updates on the progress of this project.”
Member for The Blue Mountains Trish Doyle said:
“I am really excited to welcome this project which will deliver upgrades that will benefit the learning experience of students at Blaxland High School.
“The school’s P&C has been working with me over many years for this outcome – it is exciting that a NSW Labor Government is delivering!”
Blaxland High School Principal Emma Le Marquand said:
“The announcement of this project is very exciting news for the students, teachers, and the wider Blaxland community.
“We look forward to working with the department and stakeholders to ensure this project reflects our commitment to providing students with the resources to support creativity, collaboration, and inspiration in learning.”
