There are 35 Kindergarten children who started at the school this year, which is slightly down on last year’s number but still enough to be spread across two classes.
They contribute to the 187 kids at the school overall.
A major development this year after a long time planning and months of building is the addition of four large, new classrooms below the school’s hall and library.
“We’re really excited about it, it’s fantastic,” Mumbulla’s education manager Reagan White said.
In what is called the undercroft, there are two rooms for Years 5 and 6 as well as rooms for French classes and craft lessons.
Ms White said there was still some landscaping work to be done around the school and she was grateful for all the help parents had been contributing.
We’re a community school so we get a lot of parent involvement, the parent volunteers do a lot for us.
