Call for a major redevelopment for Hutt Valley High
With Hutt Valley High School’s mould-riddled C Block slated for demolition, the school’s board chairman says a much wider redevelopment is needed to avoid history being repeated.
In March, several classrooms in the school's C Block were evacuated and sealed off after unsafe levels of black mould were detected. Following more testing, thirteen learning spaces and a dance studio were closed which has forced senior students to work from home when term two started this week.
After a month of outrage and claims it failed to act, the Ministry of Education announced last week it intended to demolish the problematic building but the school’s chairman of the board of trustees, Hamish Bowen, says other parts of the school such as the E and M Blocks also needed to go,.
“It’s easy to fixate on C Block as the only problem, but it goes wider than that. Other buildings built around the same time have the same problems.”
