Pakuranga Campus Building Development Update
The construction of the new Year 12 and 13 Building is progressing as planned, with significant preparatory work completed over the summer holidays. This included the relocation and refurbishment of key learning spaces, offices, and essential facilities, such as the library and Year 13 Common Room, as well as the demolition of the Goodfellow Centre and Wingate buildings.
The W7 and W8 classrooms have since been relocated to the front of the JPC and renamed JP30 and JP31, while the Performing Arts and Sports offices have been refitted, and the Trust Services Finance team has moved to the Manse, next to the Sports Centre.
With all relocated spaces in use from the start of Term 1, 2025, we’re delighted to see students and staff settling seamlessly into school life, making the most of their new environments to support teaching and learning and daily campus activities.
Interim Spaces Supporting Senior Students
While construction progresses, new interim spaces across campus are already serving students well. The former Year 13 Common Room has been transformed into a bright, flexible library beside Saints Café, offering a mix of quiet zones, collaborative areas, and a supervised study space before and after school. Opening onto the Saints Quad, it has quickly become a well-used hub for learning and connection.
Meanwhile, Year 13 students have settled into their new dedicated common room in the EMC Annex – a comfortable, self-contained space designed to support both study and downtime.
Also now in use is the relocated Student Futures office, situated on Level 1 of the MacFarlan building, giving senior students easier access to career guidance and future planning support.
Manor Park Carpark
The Manor Park Carpark officially opened on 10 February as a dedicated parking area for our Year 13 students. With 150 parking spaces, this new facility offers a practical and secure parking solution, featuring controlled access, well-defined walkways, and improved lighting to support student safety and accessibility. Its proximity to the No.1 Field also makes it a convenient option on weekends for sporting events, providing extra parking for families and spectators.
Year 12 and 13 Building
With the demolition of the Goodfellow Centre and Wingate buildings now complete, the site has moved into the next construction phase: earthworks. Over the past few months, earthworks, spoil removal, foundation construction, and services installation have steadily progressed – helped by a run of predominantly dry weather.
Foundation work will continue in the coming months, alongside preparation for installing the concrete ground floor slab on the West Wing.
Throughout the development, safety and accessibility remain key priorities, ensuring a secure environment for students and staff. The new construction access road, running parallel to Pakuranga Road, has proven effective, with construction traffic having no impact on daily student drop-off and pick-up during Term 1.
