Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye unveils a plaque to commemorate the official opening of Warkworth School’s new Junior Campus.
Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye has said planning is underway for the further re-development of Warkworth School and a completion date will be set at the end of that process.Ms Kaye was at the school for the official opening of the Junior Campus on Friday May 20.
She said that the remaining funding issues for the senior school were currently being addressed.
“Master planning is underway,” she says. “I expect an investment decision and final timeline to be made after that.”
The completion of the $7.6 million junior campus was the first stage of an extensive re-development plan for the school. But progress has stopped while the school board awaits government approval to build a modern learning environment for senior students.
The old junior campus buildings are currently empty but stand on what was supposed to become the children’s play area. Work to demolish them cannot get underway until the Government gives the green light, leaving the children without proper playground facilities.
