Multi-million dollar upgrade for Halls Creek school

Cooper & Oxley Group will build the teaching block for the primary school students, which will include six new classrooms, an activity area, storeroom and toilets.

The administration area will also be upgraded with a new conference room, as well as an interview room and foyer area.

This will provide contemporary meeting spaces for parents, various agencies and groups that support the school.

Work is expected to start this month with the project anticipated to be completed for the start of the 2025 school year.

MPS Architects led the design of the new facilities in consultation with the school community.

In 2023-24 the State Government has committed $626.7 million that will deliver approximately 200 projects across the State.

As stated by Education Minister Dr Tony Buti:

“The Cook Government is committed to investing in state-of-the-art education facilities to help Western Australian students reach their potential.

“This extensive redevelopment is exciting for the entire school community and once completed will benefit staff and students for years to come.

“The school currently has almost 350 students so I’m sure these upgrades and additions to the facilities will be most welcome by staff and students.”

As stated by Kimberley MLA Divina D’Anna:

“The Halls Creek school redevelopment was a key election commitment I made in 2021, and I am very excited to see this important project reaching another milestone towards completion.

“I am a strong believer that regional and remote students should have equal access to quality education, and this $13 million project will give Halls Creek students and the community great new facilities to learn and grow.”
