There is an old saying that Independents cannot achieve anything. I am so pleased to have the Picton High School hall refurbishment back on track, thanks to advocacy from the teachers and students. I was delighted to have Premier Chris Minns visit the school in April, following the visit by Deputy Premier Prue Car to Picton High School in early November 2023. The Premier visited Picton High School to announce onsite that the remaining work on the multipurpose hall would be completed by day one of term 3, subject to weather conditions. An exact date for completion and handover will be shared with the community once the builder has finalised the works program. The construction of the Picton High School hall, which had been left incomplete, is now underway. A new builder has been engaged and a detailed works program will soon be finalised. The site will be prepared for construction to restart in the coming weeks. The long-awaited and much-needed hall will be welcomed by the students, teachers and school staff, and I look forward to seeing the project reach competition.
