A further six schools in the Cronulla electorate will receive funding under tranche 2 of the NSW Government’s $120 million Metro Renewal Program.
The Metro Renewal Program provides a government co-contribution of between 50 to 80 per cent for school infrastructure improvements to high priority schools in metropolitan areas.
This program, in addition to providing timely economic stimulus, is ensuring students can flourish in a great learning environment.
The project priorities are determined by the schools so that the funding delivers maximum benefit for their students.
The NSW Government is investing $7 billion over the next four years, continuing its program to deliver more than 200 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.

- Caringbah North Public School (carpark upgrade)
- Caringbah Public School (new covered walkways)

In 1832 there were no schools in Parramatta, where young Irish-born James Martin lived. So he travelled from there to and from Sydney, where he went to school, for the next two years - he walked, he hitched rides, he slept overnight at school, and he walked again.
Sir James Martin went on to become Attorney General, Premier and Chief Justice of NSW.
His story is one to inspire students about the boundless opportunities open to them no matter what the challenges.
Today I joined Parramatta area students as they started a re-enactment walk from the Martin statue in Parramatta to the identical statue 20km away in Martin Place, central Sydney. ... See MoreSee Less

A big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who support our community.
It’s hard to believe in this day and age that we have so many people requiring food . Does Albo even care or is he more interested in himself and what he can get for free ? 😡 when are people going to wake up and see that Albo does not care for people who are struggling .
