In brief:

• Construction has started on the Garran Primary School modernisation.
• The groundwork has been laid, and buildings will be constructed on the northern section of the schoolgrounds over the coming months.
• The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.

Construction work on the Garran Primary School modernisation is now underway.

Over the last few months, construction crews have forged ahead on the project. This has included:

• excavating the site
• pouring the foundations for new buildings
• installing stormwater infrastructure to support the new school and preschool campus.

Now that the groundwork is in place, it’s time to start building up.

Over the coming months you’ll see buildings rise out of the ground in the northern sections of the schoolgrounds. This will include the library, preschool and learning community buildings.

Once complete, the modernisation of Garran Primary will increase capacity up to 975 students from preschool to year 6. It will include:

• new learning areas
• playgrounds
• a new double gymnasium
• hard courts
• green spaces
• and more.

The first stage of the project involves the construction of the new school campus and preschool. This first stage of the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025 with students moving into the new school campus shortly after.

The second stage of the project will involve:

• demolishing the old school buildings in the southern half of the school grounds
• building a new double gymnasium
• building external learning play spaces.

This second stage of the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
