Update 25 March

Kia ora e te whānau.

We have had a great start back to school. This is just an update on where we are at today.

Relocatables: The refit of the relocatables is going very well. Although the two yellow rooms themselves will be ready for Monday, the amount of workmen still working on the other classrooms, and the resulting safety and noise issues they create, mean that we will be looking to occupy at the end of next week, not the beginning of the week as hoped.

More relocatables: We are agitating for two more relocatable classrooms and will be trying for one as a library. We have to keep in mind though that we are very fortunate to have these four. Some schools who had been promised them this week, who have had the ground marked and services identified, have now been told they aren't getting the ones they were promised as Linwood College and Shirley Boys have been prioritised (30 to Linwood College and 28 to Shirley Boys).

Demolition of Rooms 5-8: I hope that this will be completed over the weekend.

Library to R4: Still no word on the future of this block.

Area outside the Learning Studio: This area is going to be asphalted. I can't tell you exactly when yet but as the ad says, "It will happen".

What Now: The Thompson Home School which ran while school was closed will be on What Now over the weekend. Tune in to see some Freeville Flyers on TV.

Drinking Water: The water in the big green tank has been tested and does not need to be boiled. If you know of people in the community who don't have water on please tell them to come down and take some water.

Have a great weekend.
