08 May 2024

On 26 March 2024, I had the privilege of meeting with Bonnyrigg High School Principal Ms. Kim Allford and the school's leadership team, alongside NSW Treasurer, The Hon Daniel Mookhey, and my Parliamentary colleague, Ms. Charisma Kaliyanda MP, Member for Liverpool, to discuss challenges facing the school. The primary focus of our discussion revolved around addressing the critical need for upgrades and new infrastructure, particularly in response to the increasing student enrolment. Bonnyrigg High School, with a permanent room capacity for 850 students, currently accommodates 1650 students. Space is supplemented by demountable classrooms. With the adjacent NewLeaf estate redevelopment project underway, enrolment is projected to exceed 2000 in the near future, highlighting an urgent need for upgrades and new buildings. I extend my gratitude to Principal Ms. Kim Allford and the leadership team for raising their concerns. Their dedication and tireless efforts to ensure our local students receive the learning environment they deserve are commendable. I also extend my appreciation to the Treasurer for taking the time to visit Bonnyrigg High School and engage in the discussion critical to advancing the school's projects. We are grateful for his ongoing support.
