Thank you for your support with our building project. In particular, the kind words and understanding you showed really helped!

We moved into the classrooms on Monday and on Tuesday it was as if we’d never left 🙂 The children were happy to be in their new rooms and when I walked through the space it was as if they’d always been there. This is testament to the fantastic teachers and support team in the Junior Pod – THANK YOU for being so great!

If you haven’t had the chance to poke your head into the rooms, then please do! We are really proud of them.

We will be moving into the new spaces on Monday (July 29th) after the final touches and paper have been completed. The Juniors will come to school as normal on Monday and then spend the day, after the roll has been taken, with the senior students and teachers while the Junior team teachers (and the movers) organise the classrooms. We hope to have them ready before the end of the day so that the students can end their day in the new rooms.
Thank you for your patience with our building work! I think the rooms look great and it has been worth the wait.

I have the keys! This is so exciting 🙂 We have a couple of hoops to jump through before we move in (we have to check for defects and have them fixed and wait for the Wellington City Council certificates to come through before we can move the students in) but the building is FINISHED!

Come in next week and have a look around – before we fill it with furniture, resources and students 🙂

I have called into school today to check on progress and WOW! It looks great! I won’t jinx it by giving you a move in date, but we are CLOSE 🙂

Another great update on our buildings – the carpentry has arrived and is being installed this week. This is a huge step forward and great to see. There is a real buzz around the school as the students start to see some real changes.

Hi everyone, the suspended ceilings are starting to be installed along with the pine edges around the room.

It is great to see so much progress being made with the buildings and the construction team at Freear Philip are really doing their best to be finished as soon as possible.

We are hoping to be back into the rooms in the near future, but are planning to start the term in the hall. We have started to make inquiries into people-power to help us with the move, so that’s a good sign!

Today the Junior Pod delivered their time capsule to the builders to place inside the wall before it is fully sealed up. Have a read of the stories that they wrote HERE. The picture below is what is going inside the capsule – hopefully to surprise some student waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy into the future 🙂

Things are going well. The frames for the exterior and internal doors has arrived along with the interior windows.
