WORK on Highgate primary school’s eight new classrooms is due to start soon, says Perth MLA Eleni Evangel.

The $6.5 million, two-storey building will go on the corner of Lincoln Street and Bulwer Avenue in Highgate.

When Ms Evangel was elected to state parliament in 2013, she said school upgrades were one of her “primary priorities”.

School principal Stephen Ivey expects it to be ready for the 2018 school year.
