Staff and students at John Therry Catholic High School in Rosemeadow will benefit from the demolition of end-of-life buildings and the construction of a new two-storey building, which will improve student educational outcomes.
Federal member for Macarthur Mike Freelander said work on the project will be delivered with support of Australian Government funding of $10.19 million through the Capital Grants Program.
“These new facilities will provide school staff, teachers and students at John Therry Catholic High School with better, more modern spaces in which to work, teach and learn,” Dr Freelander said.
“The Australian Government is committed to providing all schools with appropriate funding so that all students, including those at John Therry Catholic High School, get the best possible education.”
Dr Freelander said the new facilities will benefit the students currently at John Therry Catholic High School, as well as the many students who will follow in future years.
“The teachers, staff and students at John Therry Catholic High School 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.
“I congratulate John Therry Catholic High School on their successful grant application and look forward to seeing the positive impact these new facilities will have on the school community.”
