Construction of a performing arts centre has commenced as part of the upgrade to Mona Vale Public School.
Member for Pittwater and Minister for Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport Rob Stokes visited Mona Vale Public School and joined Principal Shannan Judge (image below, left) on a guided tour to view the start of construction on the school’s new performing arts centre.
The facility is part of the major upgrade currently under construction at Mona Vale Public School at Waratah Street, Mona Vale, delivering state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor learning spaces, new school hall and canteen, and upgraded administration and staff facilities.

“This is an exciting time for students and our wider community. The works underway throughout the school campus are delivering generational improvements and are setting a new benchmark for our local education facilities.
“The new performing arts centre will become a focal point of the school and provide opportunities never before available to local students. Through innovative shared-use arrangements, the wider community will also be able to benefit from this dedicated performance facility,” said Minister Stokes.
NSW Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the new performing arts centre will be an important addition to the Mona Vale campus.

“The new performing arts centre will benefit the school and the local community for years to come. Our schools are the centre of our communities. The upgrade at Mona Vale Public School is part of the government’s commitment to support families in this area,” said Minister Mitchell.
Mona Vale Public School, Manly Village Public School and Curl Curl North Public School have all benefited from upgrades as part of a $7.9b program to deliver 215 new and upgraded schools across NSW. Minister Stokes said it was the largest ever investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.
