Architectural planning for the rebuilding of the school to which the Deputy refers has commenced.
A meeting involving the design team, members of the school's managerial authorities and officials of my Department was recently held in my Department to discuss the stage 1, site suitability, submission. Arising from that meeting, the design team is now preparing a stage 2 – outline sketch scheme – report. At this early stage of architectural planning it is not possible to indicate when this project is likely to go to construction.
Repairs to the prefabs have been carried out.
