"Our government will continue to deliver quality infrastructure across our State to benefit students and families."
As stated by Hillarys MLA Caitlin Collins:
"These upgrades to Duncraig Senior High School are a huge win for the local community and will have a hugely positive impact on students and teachers.
"This is about investing in the future of our community and making sure that students have the opportunity to learn in a world-class environment."
