LISMORE MP Janelle Saffin has welcomed a $1,314,937 summer holiday maintenance blitz which has benefitted eight public schools in her electorate as teachers, students and support staff get ready for Term 1.
Ms Saffin said highlights included a canteen refurbishment at Albert Park Public School in Lismore and a sports court refurbishment at Barkers Vale Public School.
She noted that other planned maintenance was carried out at Lismore Heights Public School and at The Rivers Secondary College – Kadina High Campus and Lismore High Campus.
In the Murwillumbah area, tradies worked on maintenance projects at Chillingham Public School, Dungay Public School and Tyalgum Public School.
The Minns Labor Government is delivering more than $200 million routine maintenance, minor upgrades and larger refurbishment projects at almost 850 public schools across New South Wales.
Ms Saffin took the opportunity to wish all school communities in the Lismore Electorate the very best for the academic year ahead.
