Major plans to upgrade a south coast high school have been revealed, showcasing new facilities from classrooms and administration, to extensive upgrades to existing structures.

The upgrades for Bomaderry High School come as part of the NSW Government’s $8.8 billion plan to renew, expand and renovate multiple public schools across the state.

Plans recently unveiled by the state government last week showcase new fit-for-purpose learning spaces including classrooms and staffrooms, upgraded bathroom facilities, accessibility improvements, and increased pedestrian safety additions.

They also include a new building which is set to house updated administration facilities and Technological and Applied Studies classrooms.

Bomaderry High School Principal Ian Morris said he was excited about the needed upgrades.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to be considered for a rebuild,” he said.

Mr Morris said his students were already accessing high quality learning and was excited at the prospect of having new, high quality facilities for his students to learn in.

“There’s classrooms being repurposed in other exciting areas and our support faculty will have purpose built classrooms,” he said.

“Music rooms will also be upgraded and that’s really exciting there to have up to date facilities.”

The new building set to house classrooms, staffrooms and upgraded bathrooms, is set to be constructed at the front of the property facing Cambewarra Rd, while the TAS and administration building will be constructed toward the back of the campus.

Plans also reveal a number of existing buildings at the school which house minor classrooms for music, fitness, visual arts and bathrooms facilities will receive refurbishment and have a new lift installed for better accessibility.

Mr Morris said he was not expecting construction to halt classes and school proceedings once it commenced, with the staff and students set to continue their day to day operations around the works.

State member for South Coast Liza Butler said a construction tender would now be released, given the business case for the school upgrade had been approved by the state government.

“This project will make such a huge difference to the learning and teaching experience of students and staff, who have been looking forward to these changes for a very long time,” she said.

A construction contract is expected to be awarded in late 2024.
