As part of the NSW Government’s plan to rebuild public education, the 2024-25 Budget is delivering record education funding, including a historic $1.4 billion for new and upgraded schools in regional NSW. This targeted investment will ensure growing communities get access to a world class public education.

We are upgrading Hastings Secondary College to support the student community.

This upgrade will enhance educational delivery at both campuses, streamline and strengthen transition and pathway options for students and their community, and provide the latest modern classrooms.
