“We recognise the school requires an upgrade to meet current and future demand, and I am very proud that the NSW Government has seen fit to invest future funds into upgrading this important educational precinct.”

“This is great news for local families, Castle Hill is a vibrant, and thriving community and we are ensuring that we have the top-quality school facilities our students need now and into the future.”

Mr Williams said although there was no timeline or budget for the redevelopment, he “promise that time frames for the redevelopment will be met, because this upgrade needs to happen sooner, not later”.

NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes said he wants Children at Castle Hill to “have the best possible educational opportunities”

”Providing high-quality school facilities is essential,” he said.
