On Tuesday 23 February, Bass MP Jordan Crugnale announced that the State Government had appointed J Hutchinson Pty Ltd (trading as Hutchinson Builders) to build a primary school on Elliston Avenue and a secondary college on Woodfield Avenue.
The two schools are referred to with interim names ‘Clyde North Station Primary and Clyde North Station Secondary’ and are part of the State Government’s commitment to open 100 new schools by 2026.
