LOCATION: The school buildings sit on elevated ground.
Designs released for
new Redcliffs School
•From page 1
He said the school
was very happy with the
designs which “delivered
perfectly” on their
education brief – the
blueprint for the style
of education the school
wanted to provide.
The connection from
Moa Bone cave through to
the water was important
and that was reflected in
the ‘spine’ of the school
running from the cave to
the water, said Dr Fidler.
“We’ve also tried to
keep the buildings up on
the higher level so we’re
not encroaching on the
park and also angle them
towards the city to be
sensitive to the views of the
park’s neighbours.”
And the buildings are
configured to provide
shelter from easterly
winds.
Internally, the spaces
would be configured to
allow for co-teaching “but
with plenty of breakout
and quiet spaces.”
Dr Fidler said parents
and teachers from Redcliffs
School had visited other
schools around the country
to gather ideas and Tai
Tapu was one they really
liked.
“Because of the different
nature of the topography
there it won’t look like Tai
Tapu School (outside) but
a lot of the things with
regards to the layout of the
spaces, how the teachers
work together and the scale
of the spaces will be very
similar.”
It was likely there would
be minor alterations to the
final design over the next
few months, he said, with
construction expected to
begin towards the end of
the year and a completion
date at the end of 2019.
The new school will accommodate
a roll of 300.

MODERN: The Beachville Rd entry.
Classroom future undecided
• By Sarla Donovan
THE FUTURE use of
a building that is set to
remain on the former
Redcliffs School site is
undecided.
A large, modern classroom
on the southern
boundary of the Main Rd
campus will be retained
for community use when
the historic 1921 hall and a
1940s open air classroom
are demolished later this
month.
The Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community
Board decided to keep the
building for community
use as it is undamaged
and being located on the
southern boundary means
it won’t interfere with the
two new playing fields to
be constructed.
Labour MP Ruth
Dyson has written to the
board to find out what
is happening with the
building on behalf of the
Redcliffs Community
Shed.
Board member Darrell
Latham said there would
be further consultation
with the community over
the issue. “Clearly, there
are no shortages of groups
wishing to use the facility.
The board see the opportunity
for a number of
groups to use the buildings
and further discussion
and consultation with the
community will enable the
board to progress community
use of the buildings,”
said Dr Latham.
A car park, children’s
playground, sandpit, shade
sails, decking, the garden
adjacent to the car park
and trees, in-built furniture,
playground pathway,
and boundary fencing will
also remain.
