Shovels have hit the ground on the 100th new public preschool being delivered by the Minns Labor Government, marking a major milestone in the biggest expansion of public preschools in NSW history.
The 100th milestone will be marked at Worrigee on the South Coast, where a new public preschool for up to 120 children per week is being built alongside a new public primary school to meet the needs of the growing Worrigee and South Nowra communities.
The public preschool will feature three state-of-the-art learning spaces, dedicated staff facilities, a kitchen, and landscaped outdoor play areas. The preschool will also feature separate access, welcoming local young learners from next year as construction takes place for the new primary school.
The new primary school at Worrigee will accommodate 550 students when open on Day 1, Term 1 2028. It will include 24 modern classrooms, three support learning classrooms, a multipurpose hall and canteen, covered outdoor learning area (COLA), library, sports court and staff and administration facilities.
The new school and preschool will cater for local families amid significant growth in South Nowra, which has seen a 150 per cent increase in new homes over the past decade.
The new public school at Worrigee will alleviate pressure on Nowra Public School and Nowra East Public School while also easing traffic in the broader area by reducing the number of students and parents having to travel across suburbs.
