New classrooms are in use

Staff and students at Umina Public School are settling into new classrooms and facilities, according to school principal Mr Chris Andrews.

"There is still some minor furniture missing and some shelving in storerooms to be completed.

"Other than that the buildings are complete.

"Some more turf has been laid and our department will be looking at the areas that have not been re-turfed.

"The areas where the demountables were will still be out of use as a playground for at least the rest of this term."

Mr Andrews said the school was now looking forward to receiving interactive whiteboards for the six new classrooms within the next 18 months.

"At this stage we are also anticipating that the P&C will fund the installation of air-conditioning which we intend to have in place before the weather warms up," Mr Andrews said.
