New buildings to be opened this year

Pretty Beach Public School will hold an official opening ceremony when its new buildings are completed later this year.

Acting principal Ms Lorene Alexander said the project was continuing "at a good pace" with two stages of the project expected to be finished later this month.

"There is certainly much to celebrate as our school is transformed into the very pleasant learning environment everyone has looked forward to for so long," Ms Alexander said.

"We're expecting our double timber K-2 classrooms to be completed this month and hopeful that the builders will be able to keep to schedule.

"They have been fortunate with the weather and so busy remodelling the classrooms.

"Mr McInerney should be congratulated for his incredible patience in setting up his classroom in the library waiting for the final move into the new classroom.

"Meanwhile, the special purpose room (old Kindy room) should be available about the third week of next term and will be the centre for Connected Classrooms, a program that will allow video linkage of lessons with other sources, including other schools.

"This room will be supplied with a Smartboard and video technology."
