The school referred to by the Deputy was approved to enter the Department’s pipeline of school buildings under the Additional School Accommodation Scheme for a project to provide one mainstream classroom and the reconfiguration of existing accommodation to provide an additional mainstream classroom and one special education tuition classroom, along with ancillary works.
A Stage 2b report was received in March 2026, and the Department has since reverted to the school on issues relating to costings. All projects, including this one, are subject to the full due-diligence requirements set out in my Department’s Infrastructure Guidelines. Managing timing, scope, and cost is crucial to staying within budgetary limits for the overall program.
The accommodation needs at this school will also be considered as part of the ongoing overall department-led NDP prioritisation process, in consultation with the school’s patron and school authorities.
