SET BACK: Redcliffs School’s opening date has been pushed back to about the
middle of June due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Covid-19 lockdown delays
opening of Redcliffs School
• By Jess Gibson
REDCLIFFS School pupils
would have been settling
into a brand-new campus
by now.
The long-awaited opening
of the Beachville Rd
site was set for May 1.
However, that date has
been pushed back by
about another month due
to delays caused by the
Covid-19 pandemic.
The school’s former
site on Main Rd
was demolished
following the
February 22, 2011,
earthquake and
construction of its
new $16 million
campus began in
Rose
McInerney
2018.
Principal Rose
McInerney said
there is no exact
revised date for when pupils
and staff will be able to
move in but thinks it will
likely be about the middle
of June.
She said excitement remains
high as 90 builders
work “tremendously hard”
to complete the finishing
touches like landscaping,
decking and other internal
“bits and pieces.”
Workers were
broken into seven
groups, so they
were able to maintain
strict alert level
3 conditions.
Mrs McInerney
was thankful for
all the support
received from the
Redcliffs community
during
“another hurdle.”
“The amount of
messages and kind
thoughts has really made
a huge difference to
everybody.”
Do you need a Plumber, Gasfitter,
Drainlayer or Electrician?
BP Redcliffs also chipped
in to show their support by
gifting 90 pies to the builders
on Thursday.
Mrs McInerney said the
official opening celebration
is still planned for June
25 – and Prime Minister
Jacinda Ardern has signalled
she is still keen to
attend, as has Kiwi singer
Dave Dobbyn.
In May last year, Ms
Ardern said she would “do
everything she can” to be
at the opening after pupils
sent her multiple letters of
invitation.
Said Mrs McInerney:
“We might not be able to
have the same number of
people but we will certainly
have all of the school
kids there and hopefully
a few of the special guests
who have helped us
through this journey.”
The school has been
operating out of the van
Asch Deaf Education
Centre since the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
