Work to start this month

Work on an extension to the cola at Woy Woy Public School and a number of other projects is expected to start this month.

A new bus-line/activity cola between the library and administration buildings and a verandah over the exposed section of the wooden decking in front of the library and B block classroom will also be built.

," Ms Buckley said.

School principal Ms Ona Buckley said: "These projects are to be finished by the end of this term.

"The initial meeting with the Department of Commerce and builders has taken place and building guidelines and agreements have been signed off.

"Agreement with Bovis Lend Lease, the Department of Education and Training and the school is also finalised and this scope of works which includes four new classrooms and a double Special Education classroom block with attached bathroom facilities is scheduled to start in early January.

"This will mean some disruptions to our school routines.

"Some classes will be relocated for the period of the building project and a section of our school will be barricaded off as a building site - a small sacrifice to pay for such a wonderful addition to our school.

"Planning has started in preparation to make this as smooth a time for all as possible."

Ms Buckley also encouraged members of the school community to donate old pots to the school.

"With all of the building works about to start we are on a rescue mission to save the plants from our gardens that we know are going to be removed," Ms Buckley said.

"If you have any medium or large old plastic pots you don't need we would appreciate them. "We can pot up the plants and have them ready for the garden areas in the future."
