The school has been steadily growing in student numbers and in amenities over the past six years, and this past stage saw brand new science labs, a home economics kitchen-classroom, and new multi-purpose flexible teaching spaces installed for the expanding high school population.
The new rooms are already being well-utilised by both the primary and high school students and have housed this year’s Science Week activities and cake-baking projects from the school’s fundraising drive for drought-affected farmers.
The new rooms also mean more subjects can now be added to the HSC syllabus NVCCS has on offer – a timely launch as the school readies to send off its first cohort of HSC students, and prepares for its second.
The total project cost was $850,000, with $550,000 of that contributed by the State Government.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the school assembled as a whole under the covered open learning area in front of the new rooms and celebrated with a great morning tea and number of musical items.
Cr. Rhonda Hoban also attended and, like Mrs Pavey, was thanked by the school board chairman Reverend Darryl Spriggs and principal Jeff Allen for their ongoing support of the school at state and local levels.
