The Transformation of Garran Primary School: A Modernisation Project

Construction crews have been diligently working on transforming the grounds of Garran Primary School to usher in a new era of modernisation and growth. The project aims to enhance the learning environment for students and create state-of-the-art facilities for the community.


Key Highlights:

  • Construction has commenced on the Garran Primary School modernisation project.
  • The groundwork has been laid, and new buildings will soon start to take shape on the northern section of the schoolgrounds.
  • The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.


Construction work at Garran Primary School is progressing steadily, with significant milestones achieved in recent months. The focus has been on:

  • Excavating the site to prepare for new structures.
  • Pouring the foundations for upcoming buildings.
  • Installing stormwater infrastructure to support the expanded school and preschool campus.

With the groundwork now in place, the next phase will see buildings rising in the northern sections of the schoolgrounds. These new structures will include the library, preschool, and learning community buildings, marking a significant step towards the school’s modernisation.

Upon completion, Garran Primary School will be able to accommodate up to 975 students from preschool to year 6, offering a range of new facilities such as:

  • Modern learning areas equipped with the latest technology.
  • Spacious playgrounds for recreational activities.
  • A new double gymnasium for sports and fitness programs.
  • Hard courts for various outdoor sports.
  • Green spaces to promote outdoor learning and relaxation.

The initial stage of the project focuses on constructing the new school campus and preschool, with an anticipated completion date by the end of 2025. Following this, students will transition to the new facilities, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Garran Primary School.

The subsequent stage will involve demolishing the old school buildings in the southern half of the grounds and constructing additional amenities, including a new double gymnasium and external learning play spaces. This phase is slated for completion by the end of 2026, ensuring a comprehensive transformation of the school environment.
