STEMWorks Update

The building works hit a hurdle during the holidays as the flooring was found to contain low grade asbestos when the new carpet was about to be laid. The classes were redeployed to different areas of the school temporarily while the problem was rectified. The builders have completed the process of covering the floors with masonite and the laying of carpet tiles has almost been completed.

It is planned to have students move into their class spaces on Monday Week 3 (7/8). Removalists will come in to move all large furniture and boxes into Stillwell and Holly classes on Friday this week. Mr Grieve’s class will move in later  after the floor in his class has been completed.

Stillwell classes will be only able to access their class from the front of the school and Holly classes from external doors until the completion of the project.

The attached photos show the development of the learning spaces. Classooms have been opened up to the other learning areas with large sliding doors, some walls removed to form open spaces, walls built to form specialised areas and conversation booths are in the process of being created.

The project is still on track for completion on 8 September 2017.
