towards education infrastructure
Construction is now
underway on the Cook Government's significant $39.1 million redevelopment of
Rossmoyne Senior High School.
Premier Roger Cook and
Education Minister Dr Tony Buti attended the school today to inspect the works.
The major new build will deliver
a range of new facilities for students including a two-storey classroom and
library block.
The new library will
provide a modern space with integrated technology and the capacity to cater for
a larger number of students than the current facilities.
As part of the upgrade,
new science facilities and STEM laboratories will also be developed.
New physical education
changerooms, learning areas and staff areas round out the redevelopment.
The project was designed
by Bateman Architects and is being built by Crothers Construction with an
expected completion date for the final stage in late 2025.
The project is part of a
significant capital works program underway across Western Australia, with the
Cook Government investing more than $1.5 billion to build and improve public
education facilities.
