Walls are up and progress is being made at the site of the new Coley’s Point Primary School in Bay Roberts.
MHA for Harbour Grace-Port de Grave Pam Parsons took a tour of the facility this week with the principal of the school. She says it has been a long time coming and she feels like the end is finally near. The school is supposed to open January 2021.
Not only will the new 18 room school bring jobs to the community but it will bring opportunities for the students.
She says the old school is out-of-date.
Parsons says the school that students are in now doesn’t even have a cafeteria. They eat their lunches in their classrooms. She says the gymnasium is being used as a multi-purpose room.
