A new primary precinct and infants village at Broughton Anglican College will improve student educational outcomes now and in the future, says Member for Macarthur, Dr Mike Freelander.
Speaking after officially opening the $6 million facilities, Dr Freelander, pictured above, third from left, said the development project was delivered with Australian Government funding through the capital grants program.
“A lot of work has gone into this project which has delivered a new junior school facility with 16 learning areas, shared commons and breakout spaces, a staffroom and meeting spaces, offices, covered outdoor learning area (COLA), withdrawal spaces, internal and external practical areas, as well as the construction of three learning hubs to accommodate Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2,” Dr Freelander said.
“These new facilities will provide school staff, teachers and students at Broughton Anglican College with better, more modern spaces in which to work, teach and learn.
“The Australian Government is committed to providing all schools with appropriate funding so that all students, including those in Broughton Anglican College, Campbelltown, get the best possible education.”
Dr Freelander said the new facilities would benefit the students currently at Broughton Anglican College, as well as the many students who will follow in future years.
“The teachers, staff and students at Broughton Anglican College have built a strong and positive school community and these new facilities will further enhance our local educational opportunities,” Dr Freelander said.
“Our government strongly believes in providing the best possible resources so that local students can realise their potential and develop the skills they need to go on to further study or to find a job.”
