St Albans East Primary School has unveiled new buildings and spaces, completely rejuvenating the school’s look and feel.
The science, technology, engineering and mathematics centre (STEM), art and performing arts studios, a community room, canteen, and brand new gymnasium were opened after a $16 million investment.
Principal Paul Busuttil said the new buildings are a huge boost for the whole school.
“We know that learning is not confined to textbooks and classrooms, but happens everywhere—in every conversation, every corner, and every experience,” he said.
“With these new facilities, we are creating opportunities for learning in ways that go beyond the traditional classroom setting.
“The design of these spaces invites students to take ownership of their learning and explore how the world around them can be their greatest teacher.”
He thanked St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman for her help to secure the funding.
“This generous funding has made these new facilities a reality, and it is a testament to your commitment to education and the future of our children,” Mr Busuttil continued.
“Your support will leave a lasting impact on generations of students who will benefit from these state-of-the-art learning spaces.
“I would also like to take a moment to thank our school council members for their dedication, and tireless efforts throughout this entire process. Your advocacy for our school and students has been unwavering, and without your hard work, none of this would have been possible.
“To our students, these new buildings are here to inspire you. They are places where you can dream big, explore new ideas, and push the boundaries of your learning. The environment around you is designed to be your third teacher, giving you the tools and space to achieve your fullest potential.”
