My Department is proposing to undertake a major project for the school referred to in the details supplied by the Deputy on the school's existing site.

The school authorities put forward a proposal to construct a new school on an alternative site owned by the patron. My Department considered the proposal and advised the school authorities that there would be significant challenges associated with the proposed site that would make it unviable.

My Department will make contact with the school authority to determine if any new information is available that has not already been provided to the Department.
