Investing in our schools
As part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, the 2024-25 Budget is delivering record education funding, including $1.4 billion for new and upgraded schools in regional NSW. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.
Project overview
The upgrade will enhance educational delivery at the Port Macquarie and Westport campuses, streamline and strengthen transition and pathway options for students and their community, and provide the latest modern classrooms.
All upgrade works at the Westport campus are complete and work is continuing at the Port Macquarie campus.
Progress summary – Port Macquarie Campus
Construction of the new multi-sport facility at the Port Macquarie campus, in partnership with the PCYC, was recently completed. The new facility opened for staff and students for the start of Term 2 and was celebrated with an opening event on 30 May 2024.
The facility includes sports courts, gymnastics and gym facilities, multipurpose rooms, PCYC Police office, youth hub, administration and staff kitchen facilities.
Works are now underway on Building T which is being rebuilt to provide additional Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) facilities, including 4 new classrooms, and new staff faculty facilities.
