Minister for Education

The school to which the Deputy refers is at Stage 3 (Tender Action and Award). The Design Team has recently submitted a Stage 3 Tender Report, which is currently being assessed by my Department. Subject to no issues arising, it is envisaged that works could commence on site in Quarter 1 of 2023 with an estimated completion timeframe of 23 months.
