The NSW Department of Education has unveiled designs for a major upgrade of Vincentia High School, which it says will deliver improved facilities and new state-of-the-art classrooms by Day 1, Term 1, 2027, making way for the removal of long-term demountables.
As part of the upgrade, the school will receive a new two-storey building with 15 permanent classrooms, including three support classrooms, and bathroom amenities.
The new building will replace 15 demountables, ensuring students have access to high-quality, fit-for-purpose learning spaces into the future, said NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning, Prue Car.
“For too long under the Liberals and Nationals, families in regional NSW were promised the world, while little was delivered,” said Ms Car.
“Investing in regional communities is a top priority for the Minns Labor Government, and this upgrade is part of our commitment to ensuring our students, no matter where they live, have high-quality facilities to support their learning.
“I look forward to seeing the transformation that this project will bring to the school and the wider community.”
The project will also include internal roadwork upgrades to improve safety and provide better on-site parking for students and visitors.
Vincentia High School Principal Ruth Winfield said it was an exciting time for Vincentia High School.
“We are thrilled to see plans for the upgrade taking shape,” said Ms Winfield.
“The addition of permanent classrooms will greatly enhance the learning and teaching experience for our students and staff, ensuring we have quality facilities to meet the needs of our school community.
“I look forward to seeing this project come to life and the lasting impact it will have in fostering student success and strengthening our school community for years to come.”
