New primary school for Rolleston part of Canterbury schools' cash boost

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

A new school will be built in Rolleston and six other Canterbury schools will get extra classrooms as part of a $24 million cash injection.

The purpose-built primary will cater for 400 students when it opens in 2022 on land the Government purchased for $3m within the Acland Park subdivision.

The Selwyn town has grown dramatically since the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, and got its first secondary school, Rolleston College, and its fifth primary school, Lemonwood Grove School (pictured below), in 2017.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?
