From 1 December 2021 , the NSW Government will make available learn to swim vouchers for preschool-aged children and kindergarten kids . Every Hawkesbury child should have the opportunity to learn how to be safe around water and now they can . Families can apply for the First Lap vouchers through Service NSW .

vouchers have been successful in boosting small business patronage as we navigate to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic . I hope you can enjoy a tasty meal and be entertained real soon . Investments in education The education of Hawkesbury students is a top priority of mine and I am delighted to have secured funding for investments at our schools .
Eleven Hawkesbury schools will be getting a variety of improvements from upgrades to kitchens , toilets and staffrooms to playgrounds and computer facilities . Schools benefitting from this funding include Bligh Park Public School , Brewongle Environmental Education Centre , Freemans Reach Public School , Glenorie Public School , Glossodia Public

School , Hillside Public School , Hobartville Public School , Kurrajong East Public School , Oakville Public School , Windsor Park Public School and Windsor Public School .
This is part of the NSW Government ’ s $ 240 million Regional and Metro Renewal Programs . This should also assist our tradies with opportunities to tender or contract for the work .
Over the next four years , the NSW Government is investing $ 7.9 billion as it continues its program to deliver 215 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW . This is the largest investment in public education infrastructure in the history of NSW .
I will keep working hard to ensure our teachers and students have the best

quality infrastructure and resources to teach and learn . Storm and flood recovery support I urge storm and flood affected producers from Hawkesbury ’ s critical agriculture and horticulture industries to apply for recovery support through the $ 80 million Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program , co-funded by the Australian and NSW governments . The storms and floods that devastated Hawkesbury earlier this year caused significant damage to locals , in particular local turf farms , also affecting the businesses that rely on these industries .
