MAJOR upgrades were unveiled last week at Hunter River High School in Heatherbrae.
Eight demountables have been removed and replaced by permanent classrooms, refurbished learning spaces, a new gymnasium with a basketball court, and improved school grounds including a new sports field.
A new student drop-off/pick-up zone has also been completed, improving access for students travelling to and from school.
Hunter River High School Principal Sue Xenos said, “Seeing the completion of these upgrades is a moment of immense pride for our students, staff, and the wider school community, reflecting years of planning and hard work.
“As a former student, Hunter River High School has always held a special place in my heart, and it’s incredibly rewarding to celebrate this significant milestone.
“These modern facilities will ensure the school continues to thrive and serve future generations.”
Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington said, “I’m honoured to cut the ribbon at Hunter River High School today to celebrate the opening of the stunning new learning spaces designed for the delivery of quality education.
“Past and present principals, staff and students at Hunter River High School are to be commended for their contribution to transforming their school – making a difference for generations to come.”
