Staff and students at St Patrick's Parish School in Cooma will benefit from the construction of new multipurpose hall, which will improve student educational outcomes.

Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain said work on the project would be delivered with support of Albanese Government funding of $2,238,872 through the Capital Grants Program.

“These new facilities will provide school staff, teachers and students at St Patrick's Parish School with better, more modern spaces in which to work, teach and learn.” she said.

“The teachers, staff and students at St Patrick's Parish School have built a strong and positive school community and these new facilities will further enhance our local educational opportunities.

“I look forward to seeing the positive impact these new facilities will have on the school community.”

St Patrick’s Parish School Principal Sean Mangan said the new multipurpose hall would provide a great boost to the school community.

“Our school is very appreciative and excited to have received this Federal Government funding to turn a long-term dream into a reality,” he said.

“It will provide so many sporting opportunities for our students and staff, along with community events.”
