<p>&#8220;Rangiora High School has experienced a significant roll increase following the Christchurch earthquakes. It has a large number of relocatable classrooms in very poor condition, and property issues have compounded over time to the point where a substantial redevelopment is required.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a result, up to $14.9 million is to be spent on constructing new classrooms to accommodate roll growth, and on replacing sub-standard relocatable classrooms and sub-standard specialist classrooms.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rangiora has experienced an increasing number of subdivisions following the Canterbury earthquakes. This funding will provide additional classrooms to address that growth, and create a more modern and inspiring learning environment for Rangiora High School&#8217;s students and their teachers.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Government is investing more than $300 million in a six-year programme involving an estimated 30 schools, to address infrastructure issues and modernise their facilities, Ms Kaye says.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Rangiora High School upgrade is part of the Government&#8217;s plan to raise student achievement by ensuring students can learn and achieve in the best possible environments.</p>
<p>&#8220;The new classrooms will be built to the latest learning environment standards that support modern teaching styles and provide a comfortable environment for students.</p>
<p>&#8220;They will provide safe, contemporary spaces that will help inspire students to learn.&#8221;</p>
<p>The redevelopment will be managed by the Ministry of Education&#8217;s Infrastructure Service with construction expected to commence in early 2015 and a completion date of October 2016.</p>
