Wales STreet Primary SchooL

Upgrade and Modernisation

Investment: $4.1 million
Status: Completed

I am excited to announce that the upgrades to Wales Street Primary School have been completed! The State Labor Government’s $4.1 million investment into this school has transformed the schools facilities for the better.

Wales Primary school has a long and rich history. Many of the school’s original buildings had been built in 1891, and it was no surprise that they had become tired and were no longer meeting the needs of students and staff.

As part of the project, the school’s former administration spaces have been transformed into brand-new specialist STEM, withdrawal and collaboration area, providing flexible, future-focused spaces where students can learn, explore and engage in small group or hands-on activities.

Meanwhile, the administration hub has been relocated to a more accessible and functional part of the campus, improving the daily experience for staff, families and visitors. It’s a change that reflects the school’s commitment to being open, welcoming, and easy to navigate for the whole school community.

Wales Street Primary has long been known for its strong sense of community and high-quality teaching. These upgrades are about ensuring the learning environment reflects and supports that same level of excellence.

As your local MP, I’m proud to have helped secure this and I am continuing to advocate for further upgrades to support the school’s growing needs, including upgrades to the current David Building and the 2nd floor of Speight Street, and its ambitious vision for the future.

This is a school that deserves the very best and I look forward to seeing Wales Street Primary continue to grow, thrive, and inspire the next generation.
