Work on track at college

Refurbishment and upgrade works on both campuses of Brisbane Water Secondary College are well on track as the new school year begins, according to principal Mr Pat Lewis.

Working throughout January, builders were able to present the senior campus with a new carpark in front of the Technology Futures computer centre for the beginning of the new term, he said.

The carpark will provide parking facilities for staff and for community users of the centre.

Work has begun on the construction of the new administration building on the site of the old school carpark.

This building is planned for occupation in early June, which in turn will allow for the refurbishment of the current administration blocks to a special education centre and a dedicated students' services centre.

On the Umina campus, work is nearing completion on new covered hardcourts for PE and Sport.

"This venue will also provide much needed shelter for students as well as an outdoor assembly area," said Mr Lewis.

Construction is also well underway on the human movement studio, performance workshop and new change rooms.

These facilities will provide space to develop students' talents in the performing arts and are due for completion in June.
