Oatley Public School

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the outstanding team at Oatley Public School who have been successful in receiving $40,000 thanks to the NSW Government's Community Building Partnership program for 2021. This funding is an incredible result for the school and the funding will go directly towards building a permanent shade structure over the playground. This infrastructure boost will allow students to access the playground in wet weather conditions while providing relief from the heat in summer. The Community Building Partnership grant program funds important infrastructure and equipment upgrades to community organisations across NSW. Most importantly, it demonstrates the NSW Government's commitment to increasing the quality and availability of school infrastructure for local residents across the State. I wish to thank Principal of Oatley Public School, Debbie Hunter, P&C President, Lachlan Derwent, as well as P&C Grants Officer, Alison Katona, for continually championing improvements at the school. I look forward to seeing this fantastic permanent shade structure built in the near future.
