A Hall forMurrumbeena — For All.
Parents built our hall. The State promised a proper hall many years ago — it was never delivered. Now we're asking for a full-size, competition-grade hall and community hub, ~$12–14M in the 2027–28 Budget.
The 1990 hall — built with 100% parent donations, half the size our students need.
