A new primary school in Donnybrook is a step closer, with a builder recently appointed to the project and the first sod turned.
The state government has awarded the contract to built Haynes Hill Primary School (interim name) to Kane Constructions.
The school is expected to open in 2023 and will cater for 525 children from prep to year 6.
It is planned that the school will feature an administration building with a library, staff offices and amenities; specialist teaching areas for science and food technology; flexible and collaborative teaching spaces; a community hub building with a competition-grade gymnasium, canteen, music and drama space; two outdoor hardcourts and a sports field.
Yan Yean MP Danielle Green, who helped turn the first sod on the project earlier this month, said the primary school would be one of many new schools opening next year.
“It’s great to see the progress on Hayes Hill Primary School – giving kids and families in Donnybrook the best access to world-class education as well as community sport facilities in their own backyard,” she said.
