Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid today opened new accessibility features at St Philip’s College - Gosford which will improve student educational outcomes.

Dr Reid said work on the new facilities was delivered with support of Australian Government funding of $178,940 through the Capital Grants Program.

“A lot of work has gone into this project which has delivered a lift, ramp and refurbished accessible amenities” Dr Reid said.

“These new facilities will provide school staff, teachers and students at St Philip’s College - Gosford with better, more modern and inclusive spaces in which to work, teach and learn.”

“The Australian Government is committed to providing all schools with appropriate funding so that all students, including those in St Philip’s College - Gosford, Narara, get the best possible education.”

Dr Reid said the new facilities would benefit the students currently at St Philip’s College - Gosford, as well as the many students to follow in the future years.

“The teachers, staff and students at St Philip’s College - Gosford have built a strong and positive school community and these new facilities will further enhance our local educational opportunities,” Dr Reid said.

“Our Government strongly believes in providing the best possible resources so that local students can realise their potential and develop the skills they need to go on to further study or join the workforce.”
