Expanding Horizons for Education in 2024

Melonba Temporary High School, one of the three temporary schools, is set to open its doors in time for term one, 2024. Initially planned to accommodate only year 7 students, the commitment has expanded to include year 8 students as well, catering to a total of 400 students. The school will feature fit-for-purpose classrooms, a canteen, library, administration facilities, bathrooms, and playground space.

The Problem

Navigating Educational Demands

The growing population in Sydney's North has led to a significant demand for additional school facilities. Recognising the urgency, the NSW Government's solution involves the establishment of three temporary schools—Tallawong, Nirmiba Fields, and Melonba. However, the tight timeline, resource constraints, and unpredictable weather conditions have posed substantial challenges to the ProGroup Project Management Team.

ProGroup Management has undertaken the daunting task of delivering all three temporary schools, ensuring they are operational by term 1, 2024. The temporary schools serve as a vital stop-gap measure, addressing the immediate need for educational facilities while permanent structures are being constructed. The commitment to meeting the student enrolment demand is at the forefront of this solution, alleviating the strain on existing schools and providing a conducive learning environment for the growing student population.
