Construction has begun on a new $25.7 million primary school in Madora Bay in the Peel region.
Premier Mark McGowan, Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery and Mandurah MLA David Templeman visited the construction site today to turn the first sod at the future Madora Bay Primary School (planning name).
When complete, the primary school will accommodate 650 students from Kindergarten to Year 6 in state-of-the-art learning facilities.
Future students and staff will benefit from a dedicated Kindergarten and Pre-primary block, administration block with dental therapy facilities, and two double-storey general classroom blocks.
The school will also feature a general learning block with an inclusive education classroom and an art and science room.
Other new facilities include a covered assembly area, music room, oval, hardball courts and cricket nets.
The school was designed by Carabiner Pty Ltd and will be built by Universal Constructions Pty Ltd.
It is due to open its doors to students in 2023.
As stated by Premier Mark McGowan:
"My Government is committed to delivering high-quality education facilities throughout WA - to give our young people the best possible start in life.
"Giving young Western Australians a quality education is incredibly important, and this new school will cater for the growing communities in this part of the State."
As stated by Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery:
"This is an exciting moment for the Madora Bay community and marks a significant milestone for this brand new school.
"Young families in the area can look forward to this primary school opening its doors to local children, who will be provided with a high-quality education and wonderful environment to learn and play in.
"I look forward to students being able to make the most of the school's state-of-the-art facilities in 2023."
As stated by Mandurah MLA David Templeman:
"I fought hard to secure this school and I am excited that another school in Mandurah will be constructed by the McGowan Government.
"It's important for local students to have access to a world-class education here in WA and that includes access to high-quality facilities like this new primary school.
"Madora Bay is a rapidly growing area with many young families and this new primary school will be a fantastic addition to the local area."
