A new administration building and upgraded facilities at Darley Primary School were unveiled this month, with the project aiming to modernise the school.
On Wednesday, July 2, a ribbon was cut to mark an official opening of the school’s new administration building, and attendees were given a tour of the upgraded facilities throughout the site.
Receiving about $10.7 million funding through the state’s 2022–23 budget, the upgrade and modernisation project included constructing the new administration building at the front of the school – aimed at creating a more welcoming entrance – upgrading and extending one of the learning blocks; partly demolishing the main block, including the arts, staff and admin areas; moving one relocatable building and demolishing another; and landscaping to improve the outdoor areas.
Eureka MP Michaela Settle said Darley Primary School is a world-class school for local families, where students can discover their passion for learning in a beautiful environment.
“I’m so proud we have delivered these upgrades, so our students, and our dedicated teachers and support staff have bright, modern spaces in which to learn and work,” Ms Settle said.
She said that the budget funding for school upgrades was aimed at ensuring students have learning spaces tailored to 21st century learning and that help develop creative thinking and inspire learning – critical skills for future success.
