New classrooms opened

Empire Bay Public School officially opened its new classroom facilities on Friday, March 18.

Opening the classrooms, Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill said: "I'm thrilled to see how Empire Bay Public has used $3.2 million in funding to transform the school.

"Of this, $3 million was used to build four new classrooms while another $200,000 went into creating a multi-purpose room," she said.

"It is just fantastic to see students eager to learn and revelling in these brand new facilities."

Ms O'Neill congratulated school principal Ms Sharon McEvoy and her staff on the new facilities and spoke of the benefit to both the school and local community.

"Staff, parents and tradies have worked together to deliver these new facilities over many months," said Ms O'Neill.

"I am particularly delighted that this project has supported the employment of many local workers."
