Legana Primary School Celebrates Official Opening
Students, families and the community have celebrated the official opening of Tasmania’s newest primary school.
Legana Primary School opened its doors to students on the first day of Term 1 and currently has 132 students enrolled from Kindergarten to Year 5.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff thanked everyone who played a role in delivering the project at the official opening today.
“This is the first Government school to be built in more than a decade, and it’s been shaped by the community, for the community,” the Premier said.
“With its state-of-the-art classrooms, undercover sports court, library and Lego wall, the school is providing students with the education facilities they need and deserve.
“Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future, we are continuing our strong record of delivering new and upgraded education infrastructure for our students.”
Minister for Education, Jo Palmer, said it was wonderful to celebrate the school’s official opening with students, staff and the broader community.
“On the first day of Term, I saw the excitement on the faces of students, parents and staff as they walked into the school for the very first time,” Minister Palmer said.
“Local students have had a unique opportunity to attend a brand new school, and it’s been wonderful to see the school community come to life.
“As one of the fastest growing areas in greater Launceston, we are so pleased to be able to deliver this school for families who live in Legana or are choosing to move here.”
The onsite facilities include an oral health clinic operated by the Department of Health, and Outside School Hours Care provided by Discovery Early Learning Centres.
A co-located sport and recreational hub, including a sport oval, is also available for school use during school hours.
This $33.7 million project demonstrates the Tasmanian Government’s strong investment in new education infrastructure.
