Students at Narrabeen North Public School are settling into their revamped learning environment much sooner than anticipated following the early completion of major school upgrades.
The extensive refurbishment project has delivered a range of improvements across the campus.
The upgrades, which encompassed various areas of the school, included revamping science labs, prep rooms, and chemical storerooms and replacing roofs across several blocks.
Student and staff amenities received a much-needed refresh, while the technology and applied studies classrooms were also modernised. Furthermore, existing classrooms underwent refurbishment to provide improved learning environments.
The project team has been working closely with the school’s leadership to ensure the upgrades align with the school’s needs. Designs for further improvements, including a refurbished STEM room and upgraded woodwork, textile and computer rooms, have been finalised. A tender for this project stage was awarded in August 2024, with work commencing soon after.
Plans are also in place to upgrade 20 classrooms in another block. Construction is expected to begin towards the end of 2024, primarily during the December school holidays. The school’s new PA system is currently being installed and will be operational shortly.
The final stage of the project will see the removal of temporary classrooms from the sports oval in September 2024, once essential services have been disconnected. This will open up valuable outdoor space for students to enjoy.
This significant investment in Narrabeen North Public School is part of a broader commitment to providing high-quality education facilities for students nationwide.
The 2024-25 NSW Budget allocated a record $8.9 billion for new and upgraded schools, ensuring that growing communities have access to world-class learning environments.
