Students from Narrabeen North Public School are now enjoying brand new classrooms after the Minns Labor Government delivered the school’s multimillion dollar major upgrade more than six months ahead of schedule.

Treasurer of New South Wales Daniel Mookhey today visited Narrabeen North Public School alongside Principal Adam Hughes to see the completed upgrades.

The major refurbishment delivered 15 new air-conditioned classrooms, replacing 15 demountable classrooms, along with three support classrooms, a covered outdoor learning area, new amenities, landscaped gardens with native Australian plants, a new school hall and new staff and administration areas.

At neighbouring Narrabeen Sports High School, major upgrade works are ongoing, with improvements to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) classrooms, and woodwork, textile, and computer rooms, as well as refurbishments to classrooms recently completed. Works at Narrabeen Sport High School are due to be complete in mid-2025.

The early delivery of Narrabeen North Public School is part of the Minns Labor Government’s work to address the school infrastructure backlog left after 12 years of neglect by the Liberals and Nationals. Works were funded by the Minns Labor Government’s record $8.9 billion 2024-25 Budget for new and upgraded schools.

Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:

“It is wonderful that students at Narrabeen North Public School are enjoying their brand-new classrooms, which have been delivered ahead of schedule.

“Improvements at Narrabeen North Public School, pushed for a long time by Principal Adam Hughes, will offer local students a boost and I am sure the local community will enjoy these improved facilities for years to come.

“The Minns Labor Government sees investment in our public schools as a top priority.”

Treasurer Daniel Mookhey:

“The NSW Labor Government is committed to providing public school students with high quality education facilities, and it is fantastic to see students here learning in their brand-new classrooms.

“These upgrades will be enjoyed for years to come by this school community, and I look forward to seeing what Narrabeen North Public School achieves next.”

Principal Narrabeen North Public School Adam Hughes said:

“The whole school community is excited to have these first-class new facilities that provide versatile areas to support the wide range of activities our school offers, providing our students with a well-rounded education.

“We are committed to ensuring this excellence is reflected in our classrooms every day for every student.”

Principal of Narrabeen Sports High School Heidi Currie said:

“Students at Narrabeen Sports High School have been taking advantage of their new science labs and are enjoying the upgraded facilities.

“The school community has advocated strongly for these upgrades. We will keep families updated throughout each stage of construction, and I look forward to sharing more as the work progresses.”
