Plans to expand Umina school

The Department of Education and Training (DET) has plans to expand Umina Beach Public School, with the purchase of five adjacent houses.

Principal Mr John Blair said that it was a goal that the school council had had for a number of years and it was fast becoming a reality.

The school security fence was also being erected.

Mr Blair said that the current year would be the biggest on record for Umina Public School with about 800 students enrolled and 30 classes formed.

He said DET had recognised the need for a larger school area and would provide plans to the community in the near future for improvements and upgrades to the school.
