Practical Completion was extended until Friday 8th (today).  The architect and project manager will be touring the site today to review any comments by the building inspector and examine all aspects of the building and note any areas that require further work. There are still a number of items to be completed including joinery in classrooms (upholstered reading nooks) and booths in one room.

During next week, key staff will be trained on various pieces of equipment e.g. moving basketball rings out of the way when using the stage.

We are currently completing transition preparation plans which will include a "walk through" the new building for students. Staff have been offered another walk through after school tonight.
