Kia ora Whānau
We have exciting news to share with you. We have been granted just over $400,000 from the Ministry to create a new 95m2 multi-purpose building for our school. We have started the process by visiting other schools with similar spaces and will be discussing with our BOT, our teachers and our students about exactly what the priorities are for our school.
We are engaging with a project manager to come up with a design that suits our needs and we will keep you updated with the process.
