Not long now.

Today, the Bovis 'wrap' around the building site was removed. We can now see across the playground to the new buildings. The site was prepared today for the bitumen to be laid on the weekend.

Next week all the final 'bits and pieces' will be completed. Our hope is that we will start moving in during the following week.

The refurbished tuck shop.

The improvements keep on happening!

Our valuable helpers have really enjoyed working in the new tuck shop. The colour scheme has been chosen to complement the colour scheme of the new buildings across the playground.

I'm sure the food tastes better now.

Boys' Toilets completed

Also during the holidays, the boys toilets were refurbished. They look great. I'm sure the boys will look after their new area.

The end is in sight.

On our return to school this term, the scaffolding surrounding the building had been removed and work had begun inside the new rooms. The tilers are here in force today, laying the tiles to make the walkway "covered". Painting has begun inside the buildings. If this pace keeps up, the building should be ours within the near future!

Inside the compound

The new walkway has blended in well with the verandah.

This photo is just to prove that I climbed the scaffolding to view the roof and site from above. Maybe a bridge climb is not out of the question!!

Outside the new buildings. The scaffolding will hopefully be removed soon.

The area between the new classroom and library will provide a quiet area to work and play.

Scaffolding for roof installation.

An enormous steel structure has been built around the new buildings. This scaffolding will protect the men as they work on the new roof. As well as steel walkways, there has been strong steel netting placed over the entire roof area. This is an extra safety precaution for the builders.

It is really important that the workers are safe on the building site!

Covered walkway columns

The brick columns have been built. These will support the tiled roof over the covered walkway. We will be able to walk around the school without getting wet when it rains!
