Public schools in Davidson will remain hives of activity over the summer holidays, as tradespeople spruce up school grounds while students and teachers are on leave.
Jonathan O’Dea, Member for Davidson, welcomed the investment in local schools in the Davidson electorate, saying, “Every child in Davidson deserves to have access to great school facilities. Keeping our educational facilities in tip-top condition promotes a sense of pride in our schools and helps students to learn and grow.”

Education Minister Rob Stokes said the program is another example of the NSW Government’s commitment to public education and local infrastructure to support communities across NSW.
“We carry out projects in our schools every day of the year, but we really ramp it up over summer to get schools in their best condition to start the new school year,” Mr Stokes said.
The summer holiday blitz is part of the NSW Government’s record $847 million school maintenance investment over the next four years.
The Government is investing $6 billion over the next four years to deliver more than 170 new and upgraded schools as well as a record $500 million to provide air conditioning in schools. This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW.
