An education support facility will be built at Aveley North Primary School to help cater for young students with autism or disability.
Construction of the specialist facility will begin this year before opening for students in 2019. Students will be able to share the state-of-the-art amenities in the education support hub at nearby Aveley Secondary College, including the hydrotherapy pool.
Education and Training Minister Sue Ellery announced the new building today during a visit to Aveley North Primary School, where kindergarten and pre-primary students started the school year.
They are the first students to attend the brand new school, which opened with temporary facilities ahead of the completion of permanent buildings in 2019.
Once completed, the school will include five permanent teaching blocks, an administration area, a dental therapy centre, an undercover area, a library, and extensive sporting facilities with multi-purpose courts and an oval.
The State Government has put aside more than $477 million to build new schools and upgrade existing facilities across WA.
