Families in northern NSW are set to benefit from a brand new integrated education campus in Murwillumbah, the first of its kind for regional NSW, under a plan unveiled today by Deputy Premier John Barilaro and Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell.
\nMr Barilaro said this multi-million-dollar investment demonstrates the NSW Government\u2019s commitment to world-class education in regional communities.
\n\u201cNo matter where you live in this state, we are providing quality educational facilities to ensure our students get the best start in life,\u201d Mr Barilaro said.
\n\u201cQuality educational facilities, like the brand new campus coming soon to Murwillumbah, ensure families who live in regional and rural areas can remain there and children don\u2019t have to move to metropolitan areas to receive a first-rate education.\u201d
\nMs Mitchell said she was delighted to announce that the NSW Government will develop an innovative new Kindergarten to Year 12 education campus for Murwillumbah.
\n\u201cThis incredible project will provide the community with an architecturally designed and built-for-purpose primary and secondary school conveniently located on one campus,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
\nThe new Murwillumbah Education Campus will bring together students from Murwillumbah Public School, Murwillumbah East Public School, Murwillumbah High School and Wollumbin High School at the Murwillumbah High School site, which will be completely redeveloped.
\nThe Deputy Premier and Ms Mitchell were today joined by Member for Tweed Geoff Provest and Duty MLC for the North Coast Ben Franklin at Murwillumbah High School.
\n\u201cThe new education campus will provide Murwillumbah with the modern, multi-purpose education infrastructure it deserves,\u201d Mr Provest said.
\nDuty MLC for North Coast Ben Franklin said North Coast students will benefit from access to contemporary facilities that support the delivery of high quality educational opportunities and experiences.
\n\u201cBy ensuring a seamless journey for students from Kindergarten to Year 12, this education campus will set a new standard for future public school infrastructure in rural and country areas,\u201d Mr Franklin said.
\nPlans for the campus also include partnering with the local community to potentially offer joint-use facilities, as well building ties with industry to offer high school students enhanced vocational training and support improved pathways to employment.
\nThe new campus will also benefit the wider community with possible joint use of sporting, creative and health and wellbeing facilities.
\n\u201cThe new Murwillumbah Education Campus will truly be at the heart of the community, and I look forward to seeing it take shape over the next few years,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
\nThe project\u2019s next steps include planning and design. Community engagement will be ongoing throughout the duration of the project.
\nThe NSW Government is investing $6.7 billion over four years to deliver more than 190 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
