Check out the colours!

While much of the new building's interior and exterior will have a neutral colour scheme, there will be splashes of colour. These will tie in with the four Ashgrove house groups, each of which has a home mountain and a colour: Karetu (yellow), Richardson (red), Grey (green)  and Thomas (blue). The Allenvale School's satellite classes will have purple as the feature colour.

We are looking forward in the upcoming months to being able to start working on concepts for the landscaping and playground areas. We are hoping for great ideas and continued involvement from the community so as to provide the best physical environment possible for our learners. Later in the year we will look at putting together a consultative group with representatives from across the school to work on this project.

Welcome back for the new year at Ashgrove. Corbel Construction will begin taking control of the building site for our new learning spaces tomorrow. As explained in the latest Ashgrove Update newsletter, there will be no pedestrian entry off McKenzie Place once the fence is up. Please be aware that due to construction we are not able to park on McKenzie Place either. The work on our new building is likely to be completed mid November. There will be a special opening before the building will be used, and at this stage the opening is being planned for February 2017.
