14 Tuesday January 16 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SOUTHERN VIEW Excitement building along with new campus 2018 edition Enormous progress is being made in the construction of a new campus for Avonside Girls’ High School and Shirley Boys’ High School. Some 5000 piles have now been driven into the ground at the site in QEII Park. The state of the art campus is on track to be opened for term two of 2019. Avonside Girls’ Principal Sue Hume expects the campus will become a crucial asset for the east of Christchurch. “Residents in the east of Christchurch have long been calling for a new high school, and the new campus will be a place where the community is welcomed. Many of our facilities, including the sports facilities will be available for community use,” says Sue Hume. Among the facilities are a Performing Arts Centre with a 750-seat theatre, a second smaller 100-seat theatre and three full-sized indoor Gymnasiums. Shirley Boys’ Principal John Laurenson says the new school will be the ultimate campus for providing high quality single sex education. “We’ll still be offering all the benefits of a single-sex education, but our students will have the advantage of being able to learn and grow alongside students from our partner school, in what will be a truly incredible campus,” says John Laurenson. In the meantime, as work continues onsite, the schools are gearing up for a busy 2018. The schools will make New Zealand history in 2019 when they become the first two single sex schools to co-locate.
