Term 2

Week 1 & 2

There has been plenty of activity around the school over the holiday break, with our landscaping works continuing to make great progress.

The outdoor areas are really starting to take shape, with pathways, garden beds and open spaces becoming more defined each week. These improvements will create welcoming, engaging and functional spaces for our students to learn, play and connect.

One noticeable change has been the removal of the old vines. While it is sad to see them go, they have been part of Swan Hill North Primary School for many years and hold countless memories for generations of students, staff and families. As we honour the past, we also look forward to creating new memories in our beautifully transformed outdoor spaces for many years to come.

The new Administration Building is progressing rapidly, with the brickwork flying along over the past few weeks. It's exciting to see the building really taking shape.

The installation of the windows and doors is now underway, marking another significant milestone in the project. With each stage completed, our new administration building is looking more like the welcoming and modern facility our school community has been eagerly anticipating.

Term 2 Week 9 & 10

The Learning Centre is almost complete, and it's exciting to see the landscaping beginning to take shape. Each week brings visible progress, and we can't wait to welcome students into this fantastic new space that will provide modern, engaging learning opportunities for years to come.

Progress continues across all areas of our building project, with contractors working steadily to bring the spaces closer to completion.

While there may not be major visible changes from week to week, many important smaller jobs are currently being completed throughout each building. These finishing touches are essential in preparing the spaces for staff and students and ensuring everything is ready for use.

Work continues in the Learning Centre, Administration Building, and surrounding outdoor areas, with tradespeople busy installing fixtures, fittings, services, and final details throughout the site.
