THE FIRST walls of the<br />

new Redcliffs School went<br />

up last week.<br />

Pupils watched on as the<br />

pre-cast concrete<br />

walls were placed<br />

on Friday.<br />

Principal Rose<br />

McInerney was<br />

delighted with the<br />

progress being<br />

made.<br />

“After a lot of<br />

uncertainty, it is<br />

great to see that it<br />

is definitely going<br />

to happen. There<br />

were so many<br />

bridges that we had to<br />

cross to get here, but it is<br />

great knowing that we will<br />

Rose<br />

McInerney<br />

have our school return to<br />

the community next year,”<br />

she said.<br />

Pupils will move into<br />

the new school on April<br />

27 and the official opening<br />

will be held in<br />

June.<br />

Prime Minister<br />

Jacinda Ardern<br />

said she will “do<br />

everything she<br />

can” to be at the<br />

opening of the<br />

school in a letter to<br />

pupils.<br />

Ms McInerney<br />

is confident Ms<br />

Ardern will be<br />

there.<br />

“We are pretty sure<br />

that she will be there. We<br />

are really excited that she<br />

wants to come, she knows<br />

that we have been on the<br />

biggest journey to get<br />

here,” she said.<br />

After a community<br />

campaign to keep the<br />

school open, then-<br />

Education Minister<br />

Hekia Parata reversed<br />

her decision to close it<br />

in November 2016.<br />

It was decided the school<br />

would relocate to Redcliffs<br />

Park, sparking a separate<br />

unsuccessful campaign<br />

by the Friends of Redcliffs<br />

Park to rebuild the school<br />

at its Main Rd site.<br />

The school has been<br />

operating out of the van<br />

Asch Deaf Education<br />

Centre since the 2011<br />
