St Matthew's Secondary Campus Construction Begins
Construction to build a secondary campus for St Matthews Catholic School in Mudgee starts this week.
After two years of planning and design, the project will see $33-million worth of investments make way for a chapel, sporting capacities, multipurpose hall, music, drama and science facilities.
A main reason for the development of another campus is to accommodate for the growing numbers of students.
Principal of St Matthews Catholic School, Angela Myles, says growth also means more opportunity for additional education outcomes.
“The number of students that we’ve had enrol in the school has increased rapidly in the last few years, and we are in anticipation now of being able to have facilities to match that.”
She also says “once we open up at the secondary campus, we will be able to extend more into integrating subjects around STEM and through art, and to make the most of the facilities that we’ll have there.”
Mrs Myles also shares that there’s been a positive response to the development.
“There’s definitely a buzz and a sense of relief that we are here now, ready for things to happen, so there is a lot of excitement around the place.”
The Broadhead road campus is set to cater for up to 680 students, from years 7 to 12, and is expected to finish construction in 2023.
