North Shore's only decile one school reopens after $19.5m rebuild
Kia ora neighbours. The only decile one school on the North Shore has reopened after a $19.5 million rebuild.
Onepoto Primary in Northcote was given $19.5 million for a total rebuild in May 2018, due to the poor and neglected condition of its classrooms – which included leaks.
The rebuild also increased the school’s capacity to around 385 students in anticipation of Kāinga Ora’s Northcote Development of 1600 terraced homes, including a third each of state, KiwiBuild and open market homes.
Principal of three years Danielle Latoa-Levi said the school was in crisis prior to the rebuild and there had been doubt the school would reopen at all.
Now, the school has four modern teaching “studios” – equal to 16 classrooms and the roll is expected to reach 80 students next week.
