Sod turned on Mogo Public School’s new hall
On Tuesday Education Minister Jason Clare came to Mogo Public School to turn the first sod on the new hall with Fiona Phillips MP.
In 2024, Mogo Public School was allocated $1,700,000 under the Schools Upgrade Fund Round 2 for construction of a cultural learning and gathering space (school hall). This has been increased to $2,020,000.
The project experienced delay in commencement due to development application approval.
Transport for NSW also had to complete road and footpath works at the front of the school before building works could commence.
Mogo Public school is an inner regional primary school, catering for 27 students from K to Yr 6.
The new school hall will be an anchor point for the whole Mogo community to have a space to bring all areas of the community together to incorporate Aboriginal education across surrounding schools.
Mogo Public Schol’s goal is to use the space to deliver ceremonies, and cultural programs including Dhurga language, Choir, and traditional dancing. Construction is due to be completed by March 2027.
