Final plans have been given the green light for a new state of the art public school in outer South Western Sydney.
NSW Government yesterday approved the design – pictured above – for Catherine Field Primary School.
Construction will soon begin on the new school, which will include innovative new flexible learning spaces, administrative and staff facilities, a hall, library, canteen and covered outdoor learning area.
Member for Camden Peter Sidgreaves said the school, to be located off O’Keefe Drive Oran Park, will provide high-quality learning spaces for generations to come.
“This brand new school is wonderful news for our growing community and, once complete, will provide places for more than 1,000 students from kindergarten to year 6,” Mr Sidgreaves said.
“The school will not only provide new and improved education infrastructure, but will also inject $45 million investment into our local area and create more than 400 jobs during construction.”
Education and early childhood learning minister Sarah Mitchell said Catherine Field Primary School was part of a $6.7 billion investment in education over the next four years.
“We are want to ensure NSW students are best-equipped to take on the future,” Mrs Mitchell said.
Planning and public spaces minister Rob Stokes said Catherine Field Primary School was one of nine major education projects determined in the past two months through the NSW Government’s new planning system acceleration program.
“Combined, these projects will not only deliver new and upgraded learning environments for more than 9,000 students in NSW, they will also create opportunities for 5,650 new jobs during construction,” Mr Stokes said.
