Minister of Education, Sonia Parag, today commissioned a brand-new wing at the Yarrowkabra Primary School.

A release from the Ministry of Education said that the $177.5 million facility was built to accommodate the growing number of pupils in the community and provide a more conducive learning environment.

The wing features eight classrooms that will serve approximately 200 students from Grades Four to Six, along with a canteen, staff office, and a dedicated Special Education Needs and Disabilities room to support inclusive learning.
