Wednesday, 11 November 2009

The Pennington Primary School community is looking forward to the completion of their new hall under the Primary Schools for the 21st Century (P21) element of the Building the Education Revolution.

Pennington Primary School received $2.5 million in funding under P21 to build a new hall, and refurbish existing learning areas.

“The new hall will be a multipurpose facility that will serve not only the school but also the wider community. It will have a canteen food operating area, performing arts and sports area,” explained School Principal, Ms Catherine Cox-Walliss.

“The hall will also be used for Vietnamese School on the weekends,” said Ms Cox-Walliss.

Students in Years 5 and 6 have shown keen interest in the construction of their new hall, creating the Pennington Primary School Development blog, allowing students and families to see how the hall is progressing.

Pennington Primary School also received $150,000 in funding under the National School Pride Program, for new interactive whiteboards, a new outdoor shade structure, improved school signage to assist with enrolments, and increased school car parking.
