NAMBUCCA Valley Christian Community School has been the beneficiary of $1.6 million of Coalition funding to provide the school with new facilities.

The facilities, provided under the Capital Grants Program, include new woodwork and metalwork workshops, music studios, general learning areas, a library and a covered outdoor learning area.

The new facilities will also feature break out areas for small groups along with staff offices, a staffroom and a lift.

“It was great to visit Nambucca Valley Christian Community School today (Wednesday May 4) to see the new facilities and hear about the positive impact it will have on students,” Federal Member for Cowper Pat Conaghan said.

“Nambucca Valley Christian Community School has a wonderful school community, and these new facilities will further enhance the learning environment.

“We are ensuring that every child gets a quality education no matter where they go to school.”

School principal Jeff Allen said the new learning areas, spaces and specialist facilities arrive at the perfect time for the school.

“As technology develops and advances at a rapid pace the school with these new facilities and the support of the community and all levels of government, is now very well positioned to equip and educate its students for the future,” Mr Allen said.

“This is particularly in the areas of creative and critical thinking, problem solving and virtual reality as part of the learning and teaching process.

“The Dedicated Literacy Learning Space is also an exciting development for our students as the school continues to experience sustained enrollment growth.”
