Jerrabomberra High School in southern NSW finished its major expansion ahead of schedule. The school can now hold 1000 students instead of 500.
The Stage 2 build adds 16 classrooms, a science lab, and vocational training spaces. A new VET kitchen and commercial kitchen give students hands-on hospitality training.
Timber, metalworks and multimedia workshops support trades and creative pathways. Principal Scott O'Hara said the facilities give students real hands-on pathways into vocational careers and academic options.
The expansion was an election promise from NSW Labor, delivered by Member for Monaro Steve Whan. It came from growing student demand in the Queanbeyan region.
