Tight squeeze. There's no doubt, that across the course of the build, there have been spatially challenged moments. Thankfully we've emerged unscathed.
With this project, the workers descended on this the space, removing a staircase and then totally transforming the area into a landscaped masterpiece. Ta-da!
Some schools have a pet. We have a slide. There are some advantages to have a slide; no-one has to look after it on the weekend; you don't have to feed it; it doesn't shed hair; it doesn't make a mess. But, like a pet, it does enjoy company.
Looking suspiciously like a wall mounting bracket for a super screen. In fact, steel frames are carefully put in place to support a preserved archway.
Testing the goodwill of our College neighbours at 7am on a work morning. The rammer had 1 hour of power to knock down this walkway before students arrived.
It may look like a shambolic mess, but the demolition process is actually very coordinated and organised. Anyone chasing some electrical wire??
A totally new space takes shape. The new deck, which connects the new and existing buildings, "steels" the show.
One year has passed since our building project commenced; students return for school February 2019. Much excitement as students observe what has taken shape across the summer break.
