State Budget 2025-26: Over $30m committed for key refurbishments and upgrades at two Geraldton high schools
The Cook Government has committed funds in the 2025-26 State Budget to deliver promises on key refurbishments and infrastructure upgrades at two Geraldton high schools. Geraldton Senior High School received $8 million for classroom refurbishments, LED lighting and air-conditioning upgrades to create improved learning environments. Meanwhile, the Government committed $23.5m to build a new gymnasium at Champion Bay SHS. The new gymnasium will be a multipurpose facility, accommodating indoor sports, performing arts and extracurricular activities. It will replace its ageing facility which its P&C members deemed not fit for purpose. Champion Bay SHS principal Adam Blackmore said the school community was looking forward to the benefits that improved infrastructure would bring. 'In this, our 50th year as an educational institution on Highbury Street, we welcome the announcement of the funding for this important piece of community infrastructure,' he said. 'It will be a great asset to the school and the children of our local families. 'It will assist in the accommodation of the rising enrolments at the school and provide scope for the expansion of courses. 'The Champion Bay SHS community are very excited to see this project go ahead with one Year 12 student stating they would like to come back as a sports teacher once it is built.' The local funds are part of the Government's $219.7m investment to boost regional education.

Would Saints job be too big for Still?
English coach Will Still has left his role at French side RC Lens and is now linked to the vacant managerial job at Southampton. BBC Radio Solent's Adam Blackmore spoke to the Goin' Home with Adam and Jo podcast about his concerns with the 32 year-old, stating: "This is another risk. It might be a great young manager, he has done well for a young man, but the Championship is a beast. "He has not managed there before and he did not play at a high level. He started on Football Manager, became an analyst and has done well from there, but I think it is easier to do it at a lower level in football or in different leagues. "Still would be another young and progressive appointment - but what is he going to do when things are going wrong at Blackburn on a Tuesday night? How is he going to react when players don't agree with him? He hasn't played or managed at a level that tells us he can cope at a big club like Southampton in the pressures of the Championship. "I don't think the club need to gamble on another 'trendy' appointment. If he does get appointed, I do believe he will adapt his game, but it is a risk." Listen to the full discussion on Still
