Cooper & Oxley Group
will build the teaching block for the primary school students, which will
include six new classrooms, an activity area, storeroom and toilets.
The administration area
will also be upgraded with a new conference room, as well as an interview room
and foyer area.
This will provide
contemporary meeting spaces for parents, various agencies and groups that
support the school.
Work is expected to start
this month with the project anticipated to be completed for the start of the
2025 school year.
MPS Architects led the
design of the new facilities in consultation with the school community.
In 2023-24 the State
Government has committed $626.7 million that will deliver approximately 200
projects across the State.
Comments attributed to Education Minister Dr Tony Buti:
"The Cook Government is committed to
investing in state-of-the-art education facilities to help Western Australian
students reach their potential.
"This extensive redevelopment is exciting for the entire school
community and once completed will benefit staff and students for years to come.
"The school currently has almost 350 students so I'm sure these upgrades
and additions to the facilities will be most welcome by staff and students."
Comments attributed to Kimberley MLA Divina
D'Anna:
"The Halls Creek school redevelopment was a key election
commitment I made in 2021, and I am very excited to see this important project
reaching another milestone towards completion.
"I am a strong believer that regional and remote students
should have equal access to quality education, and this $13 million project
will give Halls Creek students and the community great new facilities to learn
and grow."
