Opening with Phase A – September 2024
Phase A of our development includes the renovation of our Primary School building, this will house both our primary and secondary students during our first year of operation. The surrounding sports fields within this same area will be developed. The green, yellow and orange sections on the diagram below depict the areas that will be renovated in Phase A, this includes completely upgrading the walls, floors, ceiling and roof.
Opening with Phase B – September 2025
Phase B will see the renovation of our Secondary School building including the remaining sporting and outdoor facilities.
All areas being renovated will be fenced and secured for the safety of our students and we will ensure that there are no disruptions during the school day! Most of the noise for both Phase A and B will occur at the same time.
Additionally, we are working on our nursery school licence for approval by the Ministry of education, which will cater to the youngest learners in our community. We envision completing this for September 2026 and will keep you updated on the progress.
