Tuart Hill and Other Primary Schools Get Facility Upgrades

Julian WrightStirling Times

The school received $100,000 as part of the classroom refurbishment program to upgrade facilities in the female staff, junior, boys’ and universal access toilets.

The female staff toilets received the most attention, with the installation of a vanity basin, hot water unit, toilet pan and cistern, stud wall and the removal of floor tiles, altered plumbing and a coat of paint.

The universal access toilet was removed, with another on the school grounds to be used.
