School Facilities Update

• Palmerston High School building work is underway in preparation for the establishment of the Palmerston Senior Years Sub School. However, due to earthwork complications and the shortage of skilled labour available to work on the project, the building opening will be delayed. The planned movement of classes – senior students to the new building and the current Year 6 students moving to Palmerston High – will now occur at the start of Semester 2.
  A fact sheet outlines more details on the introduction of Middle Years in Palmerston next year.
