A major milestone in the NSW’s largest school building program was marked today in Tamworth with the delivery of the 50th school capital project for 2020, more than any other year.
Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell and Member for Tamworth, Kevin Anderson joined the students and teachers of Tamworth Public School to open the $14.8 million upgraded school facilities.
Ms Mitchell said the 50th project completion for the year represents a $1.5 billion investment in our schools.
