New multi-purpose hall promised for Heathcote High School

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell made the announcement with Heathcote MP, student leaders and a P&C representative on Wednesday.

Mr Evans said he had advocated for a new, modern hall for a number of years, and parents had supported the move.

Ms Mitchell said this project would offer students new learning opportunities.

"We know the importance of our school halls as a natural meeting place for the school and broader community," she said in a statement.

"We want to work with the school community to ensure their feedback is reflected in the new facility."

Ms Mitchell said the Coalition would invest $8.6 billion in school infrastructure over the next four years, continuing its program to deliver 160 new and upgraded schools.

"This builds on the more than $9.1 billion invested in projects delivered since 2017, creating a total $17.7 billion investment in public education infrastructure," she said.
