Facilities Report
Junior School/Library Building update
The past week has been especially exciting on the building front. The upper floor concrete slab was poured for the Junior School building and much of the steel frame is now in place. The shape of the building is revealing itself and looks most impressive.
We also conducted a brief site tour for School Council and Facility members last Monday evening. Neil Morcomb, Project Manager, Newton Manor Constructions, detailed how the building was progressing and we are especially appreciative of his time.
On Wednesday 16th November, the College Library was emptied. What a job!
You’ll notice, if you drive past, two shipping containers that are holding most of our books at the front of the library. Currently a temporary library is operating out of the old VCE Study Centre. The library has also had asbestos removed from the building.
