On 8th December 2015 my Department officials met with the school authority and their design team to determine what issues, including the decant requirements, remain to be addressed in the design stages and the most effective means of addressing those issues. The BoM and their Design Team are required to revert to the Department with proposals for consideration.

This project was included in the six year programme announced on 17th November and is scheduled to proceed to construction in 2016. Information in relation to the estimated cost of projects is not released prior to tender stage as this is considered commercially sensitive information.
