It's almost school holidays and we have some good news. We have approval to begin the building of our new Primary Learning Resource Centre. This will begin over the holidays, so when we come back, the construction site should be set up and the preliminary work well underway.

The Primary classrooms continue to be on track. After the ground floor slab was poured last week, scaffolding came in this week. Things will look very different in 2 weeks when we return from holidays.

Pouring the Slab

We poured the concrete for the ground floor slab of the new primary classrooms today. In a few days time, we'll really start to see some progress above ground as the scaffolding starts going up.

First signs of progress above ground

The foundations of the new primary classrooms are well underway.

Lower Primary Resource Centre

We seem to be getting closer to starting on the Lower Primary Resource Centre. We expect approval in the next couple of weeks (please pray that it is so. It will be cheaper and less disruptive to build the Resource Centre at the same time as the primary classrooms.)

Also, we have approval to build the undercover outdoor learning area beside the auditorium. The build time for this is about 6 weeks, so we plan to start the day after students finish at the end of Term 4. All going well, this will allow the project to be completed before the start of the 2010 school year - and without disruption to classes.
