I was really pleased to visit the school earlier this year. It is very clear this is a school that needs a new building. I know there have been many starts and stops for various reasons over the past number of years. It is my intention to get builders on site as soon as possible. First, it needs to go to tender. I am pleased to be able to say to the Deputy that today the school will get notice that it will go to tender from today. That will give us the opportunity to make sure next year we have builders on site breaking ground and making sure we can provide a new state-of-the-art, 600-pupil school for that community and the wider area. I thank the Deputy for his work in that regard.
