BY DAKOTA TAIT

The sod's been turned at Muswellbrook South Public School on Wednesday morning, as a major upgrade of the school gets underway.

The works include 13 new permanent learning spaces, an outdoor learning centre, as well as a sports court.

The upgrade will also see 18 learning spaces refurbished, alongside general landscaping and new seating.

Demountable buildings are expected to be cleared in time for Term One in 2024.

Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell says it's about keeping a country school up to scratch with local growth, and staff and students are looking forward to the facelift.
