Member for Granville Julia Finn has paid a special visit to Westmead Public School, where she cut the ribbon on three new classrooms.
With 871 students enrolled, the growth in population at Westmead Public School has put pressure on teaching spaces – with the school now housing 24 demountables.
According to Finn, the new upgrades plan to deliver a better learning environment for the students, 98 per cent of whom come from a language background other than English.
“Westmead Public School has been the largest public school in my electorate for some time,” Finn said.
“I am delighted to be here to formally open three new classrooms to deliver a better learning environment for local school kids.”
