The Tasmanian Government is continuing to deliver the education facilities our students and teaching workforce deserve, with the construction of the $6.5 million redevelopment of Lauderdale Primary School now complete.
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said the major upgrades include new contemporary learning areas and improved outdoor facilities.
"We're ensuring Tasmanian students have the access to the modern facilities they can engage in their learning, be inspired and succeed," Minister Palmer said.
"Lauderdale Primary School is one of the fastest growing schools on Hobart's Eastern Shore, and this redevelopment will cater for the increasing number of students.
"The upgrades are state-of-the-art, and include four general learning areas, a new playground, paved seating areas, a new edible garden and natural play zone.
"Importantly, there are new accessible pathways that will connect to the new classrooms, giving students a safe space to enter the main entrance.
"Our Government is committed to building the future of Tasmanian students, with the brand new Legana Primary School and Brighton High School ready to welcome students from Term 1 next year.
"On top of that, we're investing $188 million to deliver major upgrades for 15 schools, as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future."
The new landscaping and artworks at Lauderdale Primary School are expected to be finalised early next year.
