Principal Marilyn Gibson said she was pleased with the progress and quality of construction.

"I am so excited that we are seeing the hall nearing completion and I can't wait to see the children come in for their first assembly," Mrs Gibson said.

Students currently use the outdoor amphitheatre for assemblies so having a hall will be a huge improvement, but the hall willl also be available for appropriate community use at minimal cost and Mrs Gibson was already fielding calls from interested groups.

What was to be a seperate covered outdoor learning area (COLA) at the school has now been incorporated into the new building with a covered overflow area on the northern end of the hall.

Mrs Gibson is also continuing negotiations on a covered walkway linking the rest of the school to the new hall.

The 487-square-metre hall features a stage, sprung floor with in-built wiring for the hearing impared, disabled toilets and numerous storage areas.

The project is part of the Building the Education Revolution (BER) economic stimulus package launched by the Federal Government at the height of the global financial crises.

The BER allocation for the Narooma school totalled $2.5 millon.

Narooma Public School has also benefited from recent funding boosts with new electronic white boards while a fibre optic connection was also being installed last week to allow for video conferencing.

Other BER projects in the district include the building of a new classroom and recent removal of an old demountable at the Central Tilba school.

The Tilba demountable was removed on Wednesday, March 31 and new BDR (single classroom) was brought in four sections in the first week of the holidays.

It looks as if the building may be ready for occupation in about two weeks.

Bermagui Public School meanwhile opted for the same style hall as Narooma minus the stage.

These projects are being built by Zauner Constructions of Ulludulla, which has been sub-contracted by Richard Crookes construction who won the tender for the region's school building project.

Zauner in turn had sub-contracted much of the construction work with a Tuross electrician, Bermagui carpenter and concretors from Narooma and Batemans Bay all getting a bite of the stimulus funding.
