- Christchurch’s Cashmere High School is preparing to embark on a major $21.8 million dollar upgrade.
The draft plan for the major project is expected to cost about $1m more than the $20.8m dollars allocated by the Ministry of Education, but the board of trustees is confident the school can plug any overspend.
The project includes a proposal to demolish and rebuild the school hall, which has problems with leaking.
The hall’s capacity of 400 would be doubled to fit 800, principal Mark Wilson said.
