BETTER SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN

Working with Premier Chris Minns, we're delivering better schools and more teachers to give our kids the world class education they deserve, right where they live. 

 

The Minns Labor Government is building more classrooms, hiring more teachers and lifting student outcomes across NSW. 

BETTER SCHOOLS ACROSS CAMDEN

We’ve opened Gregory Hills Public School and Gledswood Hills High School is now open, with construction for its permanent site now underway. 

 

New school crossings have been delivered for Camden South Public School and Spring Farm Public School.

 

We’ve been improving public schools including Camden, Camden South, Currans Hill, Elderslie, Harrington Park, Mawarra, Mount Annan, Narellan, and Narellan Vale. We have also been improving high schools including Elizabeth Macarthur, Elderslie, Camden and Mount Annan. 

 

MORE TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN

Because of the former Liberal Government’s unfair wages cap and neglect of public education, teacher vacancies reached an all time high, resulting in 10,000 merged and cancelled classes across NSW every day. 

When the Minns Labor Government was elected one of our priorities was to rebuild our education system. Just in the last two and a half years we’ve: 

  • Delivered the largest pay rise in a generation to all of NSW’s public school teachers; 

  • Reduced teacher vacancies locally by 60 per cent meaning our kids are spending more time learning in class and receiving more one-on-one attention from their teachers; and 

  • Nearly halved the number of merged and cancelled classes by getting more teachers into the classroom.

Rebuilding our education system takes time but we are committed to getting the job done.
