\n\u201cThe facilities at these schools are specialised and world-class. They will change lives,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.

\nThe mutli-million dollar investment will deliver 16 new permanent learning spaces within four hubs, a library, play areas, sensory gardens, landscaping and an indoor sports facility including a hydrotherapy pool.
\nThe relocation of Mainsbridge School to purpose built facilities was also completed, with doors opening to students on Day 1 Term 2 this year.
\n\u201cThese three new schools are part of the NSW Government\u2019s historic school building program,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
