$10 million school upgrade and major safety issue addressed for Two Wells Primary School
Two Wells Primary School will receive a major investment replacing outdated buildings, following a $10m funding announcement.
After a visit to Two Wells Primary School today, the Premier and the Minister for Education have also committed to funding a well overdue fence between the school and the nearby busy railway line – a safety concern being raised by locals 30 years ago.
The school visit coincided with a Country Cabinet meeting, also held at Two Wells.
The announcement is on top of the $50 million dollars allocated last month, for priority infrastructure work at several South Australian schools, including Fairview Park Primary School, Fulham Gardens Primary School, Fraser Park Primary School, Taparra Primary School and Mount Barker High School.
The State Government’s comprehensive infrastructure plan focuses on revamping the state’s public school facilities over the next 20 years to address urgent upgrades and expansions to help with capacity.
Two Wells Primary School Principal, Kirsty Brumby, said it was incredibly exciting news for Two Wells Primary School, and the local community.
“This is my first term at the school, but even in these early weeks I’ve seen just how incredibly strong the sense of community is here in Two Wells, and I know everyone will join us in this celebration.
Two Wells is a wonderful part of the Adelaide Plains region, and I know the school have worked hard to make the best of the aging infrastructure here, but this investment will mean we can do so much more to support our students.”
The school was first established in 1865 when it was initially run from the town’s main street, before moving to its current location on Gawler Road in 1979.
