NSW Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farraway with Forbes North Public School principal David McGaw and some students.
Forbes North Public School will benefit from more than $1.3 million worth of improvements and upgrades across schools in the Orange Electorate.
Forbes North Public School will get accessibility ramps. “I am grateful to the NSW Government’s investment as it helps our school meet the needs of every student and allows wheelchair access to every part of our school,” said the principal David McGaw. He appreciated the NSW Government remaining mindful of the needs of all students in public schools.
“These investments go a long way in supporting the additional needs of our students, balancing the scales for the regions and ensuring our students and staff access facilities that make the learning conditions safe and engaging.”
“With this funding, new bathroom amenities ensure greater access, and this inclusive decision caters for and creates an environment where all are welcome which is the cornerstone of NSW public schools such as Forbes North.”
NSW Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farraway said the improvements included upgrades to bathrooms and making them more accessible, to installing safety fencing and making facility improvements.
“Our record investment into school, health and road infrastructure had seen regional NSW become a place where people chose to work, live and raise a family.
“By ensuring regional schools can continue to cater for the growing number of students we’re securing a brighter future for NSW families.”
