It will allow the schools to cater for another 500 students.
Do you think that's enough?
The principals of both schools don't think it will cater for the growth they're seeing.
Senior high principal Natasha Hemara said the junior school was "bursting at the seams" and the senior school would be getting close to its limits in 2020.
It was always planned to take an extra 500 students at the schools, she said, but it was helpful that the Government was funding it.

Are we happier owning our own home or renting?
It turns out one answer does not fit all.
Some people feel more "grounded" owning their own home, giving them the feeling they're planning for the future and creating a legacy. But there are people who think the opposite. Read more

These remits usually get workshopped by all councillors and voted on so that delegates know what the councillors majority vote is and vote accordingly. This year we were given the remits by email two days before the conference and had no time to consider these and discuss them or seek further information. Not a big deal it seems well read the remits which are as follows.....
1 Climate change – local government representation
2 Ban on the sale of fireworks to the general public
3 Traffic offences – red light running
4 Prohibit parking on grass berms
5 Short-term guest accommodation (air bnb bnbs)
6 Nitrate in drinking water7

As you can see there were a large number of remits and to expect Councillors to investigate and consult in 48 hours is unacceptable. The reason for the late notification was given as a communication breakdown by staff. Whilst I have no reason to doubt this the Mayor attends this conference every year and is a member of the National Executive, one would think that it would have been obvious to have seen ths was not on the workshop or agendas for meetings in time. These decisions do not bind our council however they bind our National Body to achieve the remits that were passed. Another lack of transparency where councillors have been kept in the dark. Time for a change is obvious.

I would like to thank David Seymour MP for bring this bill to our attention.
I acknowledge that there are a range of views around the subject of euthanasia, and I have a deep level of respect for everyone's opinions and personal experiences.
I believe it's important we have a respectful debate about this issue. If you would like to comment below, please ensure your comments show due respect for the views of others.
I am personally opposed to this bill, and my reasons our outlined below, and in the video attached to this post.
I believe this bill impacts on vulnerable people in our communities. I'm concerned that in many cases those who would have access to end of life choice under this bill are the old, the unwell, and people with devastating and difficult diseases. By definition, these people are often in a vulnerable position.
By sharing the experiences of those who are dying, we stand to learn a lot about what is important in life, about relationships within families and communities. Our experience of humanity risks being diminished if we push for shorter, more succinct death experiences. I am certainly not in favour of glorification of suffering, but rather a turning toward, than a turning away from the natural dying process.
The vast number of those in the medical profession oppose this bill, having insightful information and experience on the issue of dying.
I retain a concern about the increasing desire across society to favour a sanitised experience of death; the desire to control every aspect of life and death. Improved palliative care practices will address many of the concerns raised by proponents of assisted dying.
I am concerned that people approaching an end of life situation may experience overt pressure. They can feel they are a burden on their families, worry about the pain that the final months may put them through, and may see it simply as a better choice to access end of life provisions.
Our current laws protect all human life equally. No one person's life is treated differently from anyone else's.
I acknowledge the genuine position of those MPs and community members who support the Bill. While I disagree with that position, I will be conducting the debate in a constructive and sensitive manner out of respect for the genuinely held views of proponents, and the sensitive issue under consideration.
