Building update

19 Aug 2019

Dear %%first_name%%,

C building - We are currently moving classes into C building. Over the next few days classes will move into their new space. We have attached an updated map of the school to support this move.

Walkways - Currently the builders are working on the steel frames for the first part of the covered walkways. The fencing in the assembly area is in place while this work is being completed.

Church carpark - students can now access the school through the gate closest to C building. We remind parents that children are not to walk up to this car park at the end of the day due to safety concerns. Please park and collect your child from a designated meeting space.

F building - By the end of this week F building will be fenced off for work to commence in this part of the school. Access to D & E building will be via the Church carpark.
