ARROWTOWN SCHOOL REDEVELOPMENT

Print Page

July, 2020

The redevelopment of Arrowtown School is finally taking shape, eight
years after watertightness problems were discovered there.
Principal Chris Bryant said the bulk of construction work for the
"complex but exciting" project was expected to be completed by the
end of the year.
Although the rebuild had not been easy to work around, the attitude of
the schools staff, board of trustees and pupils meant disruption had
been minimised.
"Weve been in this disrupted state for at least two years, and Covid-19
threw another spanner in the works, but everybody has just pulled
together and adjusted to the environment.
"The teaching and the learning has remained exceptional, the kids have
remained settled and engaged in what theyre doing, and the staff have
worked really hard to make it all work."
