Exciting
Times Ahead!
Ease the squeeze….
Due to
Rangiora’s population growth Ashgrove will be receiving eight new classrooms. Rooms
19-22 will be replaced and we will be gaining an additional four teaching
spaces. This new building, which is currently in the design phase, will be
situated in the north-west corner of the school site to take advantage of the
park aspect and senior court area.
In
addition to this we are looking forward to working alongside Allenvale School
to create two satellite classrooms within the new building, to cater for
children with special needs from our community, making a total of ten new
classrooms.
The new
building will provide a modern learning environment (MLE) benefitting from new
technologies. We recommend you have a look at Campbell Live’s news item, “Bringing
the Kiwi Classroom into the Digital Age” to get a feel for the type of learning
environment we are working to achieve for our students.
We are
hopeful that building will begin in April/May and be completed by the start of
term 4, 2014. We intend to keep you up to date on this blog with information on
building progress, plans and photos, right up until the grand opening!
