New Facilities For Staff And Students At Taqwa School
10 November 2025
Member for Fenner Andrew Leigh today opened a new two-storey extension at Taqwa School, marking a significant investment in the learning environment of local students.
The project received $702,613 in Australian Government support through the Capital Grants Program, helping to deliver four new classrooms and additional administration spaces.
Assistant Minister Leigh said the upgraded facilities would make a meaningful difference to daily life at the school.
“A school’s environment shapes how young people learn, collaborate and grow. This extension gives Taqwa School modern, practical spaces that reflect the ambition of its students and teachers,” Assistant Minister Leigh said.
“This community has put great care and effort into building a place where learning is encouraged and curiosity thrives. These new rooms will help the school continue that work today and for many years to come.”
The Assistant Minister acknowledged the strong role Taqwa School plays in Moncrieff and across the region.
“Taqwa School has cultivated a warm and supportive community. The new facilities strengthen that foundation and broaden the educational opportunities available to local families,” Assistant Minister Leigh said.
“The Australian Government is committed to ensuring schools have access to the resources they need, so that every student can gain the skills and confidence to continue their studies or take their first steps into the workforce.”
