NSW Government delivers improved amenities at Cambridge Gardens Public School
Release date: 29 October 2024
The NSW Government is continuing to deliver on its election commitments for Western Sydney communities, with the second and final stage of the upgrade to Cambridge Gardens Public School officially completed and open to students.
Students returned to their school grounds at the start of Term 4 to brand new restroom facilities after the work to upgrade the toilet block finished weeks ahead of schedule.
Deputy Premier Prue Car visited the school with Member for Penrith Karen McKeown to officially open the new facilities alongside Principal Adam Wynn and student leaders.
The amenities upgrade follows the completion of the first stage of the election commitment – a resurfaced basketball court to improve student safety, unveiled in August.
The upgrade at Cambridge Gardens Public School forms part of the NSW Government's plan to rebuild public education, with the 2024-25 Budget delivering record education funding including $3.6 billion for new and upgraded schools in Western Sydney.
This targeted investment ensures growing communities can access a world class public education.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:
“I am so pleased to be able to deliver the second and final stage of our election commitment to students and staff at Cambridge Gardens Public School.
“These completed upgrades demonstrate our commitment to providing safe, high-quality facilities for our students – and it doesn’t stop here. We will continue to provide every child across the state with the opportunity to learn, play, and grow in the best possible environment.”
Member for Penrith Karen McKeown said:
“It is so rewarding to see much-needed school infrastructure being delivered for students and families in our fast-growing Western Sydney suburbs.
“I can’t tell you how proud I am to be part of a government that prioritises education and delivers on its commitments to building high-quality learning facilities where they are needed most.”
Cambridge Gardens Public School Principal Adam Wynn said:
“Our students were already excited with their new basketball court last term, and now we have these new amenities to see the year out.
“This upgrade makes our awesome school an even better place to come and learn, and we thank the NSW Government for investing in our school and our students’ futures.”
