Pupils at Holy Eucharist Primary School have taken a step closer to seeing their school expand after a turning-of-the-sod ceremony at the St Albans South site, on Thursday, October 6.
School principal Michael Bonnici said eight new classrooms, a staff planning room, a new toilet block, sport equipment room and a breakout room would be built as part of the $4.7 million project.
“We’re building to accommodate growth in student numbers,” he said.
Mr Bonnici said the primary school had about 535 pupils and numbers were expected to increase to about 600 if it developed into a four-stream school.
He said the state government contributed $2 million to the project whilst the school funded the rest.
