BETTER SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN

Working with Premier Chris Minns, we're delivering better schools and more teachers to give our kids the world class education they deserve, right where they live.

The Minns Labor Government is building more classrooms, hiring more teachers and lifting student outcomes across NSW.

WE’RE BUIDLING A NEW PUBLIC PRESCHOOL FOR BARRACK HEIGHTS

A new co-located public preschool is being built at Barrack Heights Public School.

This public preschool will help bring down costs for families, improve access to early education and give our kids the best start in life.

We have also supported families with the largest ever increase of preschool
fee relief for parents.

MORE TEACHERS FOR OUR CHILDREN

Because of the former Liberal National Government’s unfair wages cap and neglect of public education, teacher vacancies reached an all time high, resulting in 10,000 merged and cancelled classes across NSW every day.

When the Minns Labor Government was elected one of our priorities was to rebuild our education system. Just in the last two and a half years we’ve:

• Delivered the largest pay rise in a generation to all of NSW’s public
  school teachers;
• Reduced teacher vacancies across the Shellharbour electorate by 76per cent meaning our kids are spending more time learning in class and receiving more one-on-one attention from their teachers; and
• Nearly halved the number of merged and cancelled classes by getting more teachers into the classroom.

Rebuilding our education system takes time but we are committed to getting the job done.
