Eight New Classrooms Open At Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School
23 April 2026
Students and teachers at Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School will benefit from eight new classrooms and a new two-storey learning building, supported by a $1 million Australian Government investment through the Capital Grants Program.
Member for Fenner Andrew Leigh has officially opened the new facilities, which also include two reading rooms, two teacher planning spaces, a flexible learning space, outdoor decking and gardens.
Assistant Minister Leigh said the new building would strengthen the school’s capacity to support students now and into the future.
“Holy Spirit has built a warm and ambitious school community. This new building gives that community more room to grow, with modern spaces for students to learn and for teachers to plan and work together,” Assistant Minister Leigh said.
“With eight new classrooms, reading rooms, planning areas and flexible learning spaces, this is a practical investment in the everyday life of the school. It is the sort of building that will be busy from the first bell to the last.”
Assistant Minister Leigh said high-quality education depends on both excellent teaching and facilities that are fit for purpose.
“Good teaching changes lives, and good school facilities help that teaching do its best work. Investments such as this one help ensure local students have the spaces and support they need to build skills, connections, confidence and curiosity.”
“This building will serve Holy Spirit students now, and the many cohorts who will follow in the years ahead.”
