Wastewater System Upgrade
The Wastewater System Upgrade is now in its final stages. Over the next month, the AES underground irrigation lines will be installed in a large raised bed where the Little Kids Playground used to be. This area will then be grassed, and additional planting will be carried out later. At the far end of the raised bed, a fenced-off section will house the air vents.

Little Kids Playground
Once the Wastewater Upgrade is complete, we will begin reinstating the playground. The new playground will be located in the same vicinity, near the pool area. At Monday night's Board of Trustees meeting, plans to upgrade the playground for our tamariki were discussed, including redesigning some features based on what the children enjoy most.

Kaakano 1
Minor remediation work is ongoing in Kaakano 1. These works should not disrupt children working in the space.

Rebuilding of Kaakano 0 and the PAC
The Ministry of Education (MOE) is managing the rebuilding process for Kaakano 0 and the Performing Arts Centre (PAC). Currently, the MOE is preparing a business plan submission for the National Office to secure approval for the rebuild. Once approved, the design phase will begin.
The rebuild of Kaakano 0 is likely to be prioritised over the PAC due to the urgent need for classroom space. Unfortunately, it is unlikely a new classroom will be ready before Christmas. If necessary, the library will be repurposed as a classroom space during Term 3 to accommodate the Year 0 students starting later this year.

Puketaha Community Hall
The MOE has hired the Puketaha Community Hall to help meet our space needs during the week. We are very grateful for the recent addition of air conditioning in the hall. The hall is open for public hire on some afternoons and weekends, so we can not use this space as storage as we did with our own PAC which had approx 30sqm of storage behind the stage. 

We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
