Our New Campus: February construction update

Wow! Is really the best word to describe the progress made since our last update. Our roof is nearly finished, the parking and entry areas are being graded, and our interior works are well underway. Our gardens and outside play and sports areas are just about ready for us to start planting, and over the next couple of months we’ll begin installing our trees to allow them time to take root. Our central courtyard will also be made ready for the planting of our interior trees that will help shape the heart of the school.

We know that while walls, roofs and parking lots are great, our students are naturally more interested in what’s outside the building. With the space available to us there are so many exciting features being incorporated which include a dedicated 'Zen' garden to enjoy nature in a peaceful setting; an active vegetable and herb garden where the children will help with growing fruits, vegetables and herbs; an abundance of naturally shaded areas for children to play, climb and explore, and of course, a large sports field and hard court for a variety of PE activities both during class and playtimes.

In our next update we hope to share images of what the outside play, nature and sports areas will look like as we work towards finalizing the layout and plans. We also ask, ever so humbly, that if any of our readers have any shade or fruit trees that need a home, we’d happily provide a loving ground for them. We also have an abundance of mature coconut trees we’d be equally happy to relocate in return!
