Killyman Primary School principal, Mrs Deborah Mitchell, has welcomed the official opening of new classrooms and facilities at the school, describing it as a “significant milestone” for the whole school community.
The new facilities were officially opened by education minister, Paul Givan, following an investment of almost £900,000.
The improvements include a new two-classroom extension, a dedicated learning space for small group support, storage space and new, modern bathroom facilities.
Speaking at the official opening, Mr Givan said: "It is wonderful to be here today to celebrate with the pupils and staff of Killyman Primary School.
“Following investment of almost £900,000, it is fantastic to see the completion of this project which has provided new and improved facilities and accommodation for all the school staff and pupils.
“This will undoubtedly enhance the educational experience for everyone attending the school now and for generations to come.”
Mrs Mitchell said: "The official opening of our new classrooms and facilities marks a significant milestone and a truly special day for the whole Killyman School community.
“Every child deserves to learn in modern, vibrant and fit-for-purpose facilities that help them reach their full potential, and today we see that ambition realised.
“I want to thank everyone who helped bring this project to life, including our pupils, staff and the entire project team, for their dedication in delivering a first-class school we can all be proud of."
The project was delivered in partnership with the Education Authority and McCuskers building contractors.
