statement FROM THE NSW DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION RE MURWILLUMBAH EDUCATION CAMPUS

NSW Department of Education

The NSW Department of Education will pause infrastructure-related activities on the Murwillumbah Education Campus project while a full review is undertaken.

Programs associated with the merger will be included in this review.

A NSW Department of Education spokesperson said the priority during this process is minimising disruption to learning and maintaining student and staff wellbeing.

“Our first responsibility is to provide students with a stable school environment and the strong educational experiences they need to develop and reach their potential.

“We will support our staff so they can continue with the amazing work they do for our young people.

“These will be our primary focus areas as we work through the review of education in Murwillumbah.

“We will support students and staff from all four schools through this process.”

No construction work has started at the Murwillumbah High School site for the Murwillumbah Education Campus project.

Construction will remain on hold until the future strategy for the four schools in Murwillumbah is confirmed.
