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 WESTERN SYDNEY

We are investing in early education to make it more accessible and affordable for families across new co-located public preschools at Prairievale, Smithfield West and William Stimson.

Major upgrades are being delivered at Girraween Public School, Holroyd High School and the Hills Sports High School.

We’ve been improving public schools including Beresford Road, Metella Road, Ringrose and Smithfield. We have also been improving high schools including Greystanes, and Prairiewood.

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 across NSW by 61 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.
