Steelwork News

The steelwork is nearly complete and now it is possible to get a 'feel' of the new building. The work had moved on really quickly this week and it is only now that the true size of the extension can be seen.

Next week the floor slabs for this section will be fitted and work will begin, honestly, on rebuilding the Frampton Street wall.

Next week I'll tell you more about what has been happening inside the existing school building.

Frampton Street Wall Update

The workmen should complete the foundations for the new wall on Frampton Street today. The last load of concrete is due at 1.00 p.m. It has been a difficult period for everyone. The workmen have had a very small space in which to work and we all have had a difficult time getting around them as the pavement is blocked. Hopefully things will get a little easier as the bricklayers should take up a little less room - we hope.


The bricklayers should start work on Wednesday. I hope they will start work at the corner so that getting around it might be easier by the New Year.

It will take about 16,000 bricks to rebuild the wall. The builders have managed to save 12,000 from the demolition of the Caretaker's house and wall. Let's hope they can build it more quickly than the Capland Steet wall.
