Tuesday, 28 July 2009

School projects funded by the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan continue to make progress on the ground in South Australia.

Building contractors SJS Commercial have commenced works for the construction of a new hall at Paringa Park Primary School.

As part of the Primary Schools for the 21st Century component of the Building the Education Revolution, the School will receive $1.85 million to construct the hall.

“We are really excited to have received funding under the Economic Stimulus Plan for this new hall,” said Ms Dianne Atwa, Principal of Paringa Park Primary School.

“The new hall will provide students at Paringa Park Primary School with a new state of the art 21st Century learning facility along with a place for sporting clubs and local community groups to hold events and training courses.”

The hall will also enable the school to gather as a whole community for physical education, cultural events and performances.

SJS Commercial Business Manager, Mr Chris Went, said the additional work has been great for business.

“As a result of the extra work we have managed to keep our top staff busy through the slow period and employed two trainees for the program.

“The flow on effect is already being seen by subcontractors, some of which we have had to assist with employing trainees and apprentices in anticipation of the increased workload due to round three allocations” said Mr Went.
