The Yaluk Building is progressing at the moment. Last Friday the staff were invited to a "Walk through" the new building. Armed with maps, staff could identify the various rooms that are in the new building. Most student areas had tall narrow windows which reduce the chance of breakage. Over the sinks in the classroom are foldback windows so the students can work outside the window e.g. doing a science experiment and still have access to water through the window space.
Staff were surprised how the high roof on the gym made it look so spacious. It is not big enough to house a full sized basketball court but is much larger than half a court. The adjoining performing arts room which becomes the stage to the gym. We can look forward to its use for the school productions for next year. We are very grateful to the fundraising committee who are putting the money they raise to purchase stage curtains - which had to be sacrificed in the cost reductions. The initial quote was about $70,000 so they are an expensive, but vital purchase.
