Tamworth Liberty College one step closer to 100 student goal with new classrooms

Four new classrooms and a toilet block were built with $500,000 in federal government funds, so the school can reach its 100 student goal.

President James Ardill started the school 21 years ago and has watched it go from strength to strength.

"With any school you've got your physical resources, the human resources and the goals and the vision," Mr Ardill said.

"Every part is important, what we had was great staff and one of our basic principles is that family is best, we have a very strong family focus.

"Now the physical resources we have are at a higher level."

The design can hold enrollments of up to 100 children and class sizes can be reduced so that students have more one-on-one time with teachers.

The new buildings were officially opened on Monday, with Member for New England Barnaby Joyce in attendance.

It's the first time the private school has received this level of government funding.
