  • Re-elected Cook Labor Government to deliver major Cowaramup Primary School upgrade
  • $12 million redevelopment to replace outdated early childhood education classrooms
  • South West set to benefit from WA Labor’s $745 million school infrastructure investment

A re-elected Cook Labor Government will provide $12 million to deliver major improvements to Cowaramup Primary School, including a brand new early childhood block.

The investment will replace outdated facilities at the South West school, so Cowaramup’s youngest students can learn in a quality, modern environment.

The new early childhood block will have modern classrooms, toilets and facilities specially suited to the needs of early childhood education, with a large floor space and wet area for art, science and other activities.

WA Labor’s commitment builds on the Cook Labor Government’s investment in regional schools, including delivery of the $36 million redevelopment of Margaret River Senior High School and more than $600,000 in improvements to Cowaramup Primary School in recent years.

It will also support WA Labor’s commitment to transform early childhood education by introducing free full-time kindy as an option for parents through a phased implementation from 2027.

Comments attributed to Education Minister Dr Tony Buti:

“WA Labor has a plan to deliver more high-quality education facilities for students in the South West region, with our $12 million investment in Cowaramup Primary School to provide new state-of-the-art classrooms – replacing facilities that are reaching the end of their useful life."

“This will be one of the first investments by a re-elected Cook Labor Government through a new $286 million School Infrastructure Fund, which will ensure WA’s older schools can continue to give students a world-class education, by enabling major refurbishments right across the State.”

Comments attributed to Warren-Blackwood MLA Jane Kelsbie:

“This is a fantastic win for the students, staff and families of Cowaramup Primary school."

“I’m proud to have successfully advocated for these major upgrades, ensuring our community gets the state-of-the-art education facilities it needs.”
