New amphitheatre is a class act

A new multipurpose amphitheatre has opened at Hillsmeade Primary School in Narre Warren South.

The new amphitheatre will provide students with the space to explore activities related to the arts and sport, including performing arts shows, dance club, and an exciting new viewing area for school sports days.

This project was completed with $150,000 in funding under the School Pride and Sports Fund, as part of a previous commitment by the State Government to invest $16 million to help strengthen community pride in schools and to provide sporting facilities for students.

Hillsmeade Primary School’s new facility, which officially opened on 11 October, will be able to host the wider school community for Christmas concerts and assemblies, while also having a flexible and engaging area for taking precious school photos.

Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas joined Minister for Education James Merlino at the celebratory opening, saying the new space was about “investing in the future of our children” and giving every child the “best shot at life”.

Mr Merlino said: “We are very proud to invest in Hillsmeade Primary School and I am excited to see how the new facilities will be used by the school community.”
