New building planned for Ettalong school

A new building is being planned for Ettalong Public School for use for before and after school care, as well as the school itself.

"It will be located on the Karingi Street side, parallel to K block,the newest building on our site," said school principal Ms Lynn Balfour.

"The plans for this look terrific so we are excited about this new addition.

"Hopefully, it will be available around Term Two next year."

Ms Balfour said new laptops have been purchased for use in the Kindergarten and Support classrooms.

"It is a huge commitment and investment, keeping our school up to date with technology.

"But we are in a great position, with all classrooms having the most up-to-date smartboards and new computers on order for our technology room.

"We also make full use of the department's borrowing system for expensive equipment such as green screens."

Ms Balfour said she had also applied for a grant towards a rigid cover for the K-2 playground equipment.
