All pilot schools have existing infrastructure suitable for accommodating full-time kindergarten. The works that have been identified will further support the full-time learning environment and are different for each school, including air conditioning, painting, storage and furniture, path repairs and upgrade of outdoor equipment in the early childhood playground.
(a) – (b)
·         It is anticipated that total expenditure for the five schools will be approximately $600,000.
·         While works commenced at some schools in Term 4 2025, the majority of the works were completed over the December and January 2026 school holidays, with expenditure occurring as works were invoiced.
