It gives me great pleasure to announce today that Glenorchy Primary School will soon benefit from a $4 million capital investment to upgrade their learning environment.
As a regular visitor to the school, I am sure that these upgrades will be well received by everyone in the school community, and will deliver fantastic results for students, teachers and parents of the school.
Tenders were recently awarded to Macquarie Builders for a major refurbishment of the facilities, and construction of general learning areas and student support facilities at the school.
Works will commence shortly with completion expected in February 2017.
In total, the Tasmanian Government has committed to a $94.9 million Capital Investment Program over the four years from 2015-16 to 2018-19 in last year’s State Budget, and additional funding of $9.5 million during 2015-16 for new projects to ensure that schools across the state have high-quality education facilities that support learning and student engagement.
These projects are part of that commitment to ensure students have access to contemporary and flexible facilities where they have the greatest opportunity to explore their passions and discover a path to their future career.
It is also part of a strategic investment in our State’s infrastructure that will drive economic growth and create jobs from planning to construction.
