Looking at the south wall - seeing the various textures and colours of brickwork
We're almost half way through August and our new building site is buzzing with activity. Visually from the outside, you can see that the majority of the outside brick work is completed. It is colourful, unique and tells two big messages: We are a CATHOLIC school as depicted by two crosses embedded in our outside walls on both the North and East walls of our school, AND the brickwork is intentionally very playful! There have been many positive comments about its uniqueness and we are delighted that our new school building's outside is being so well-received.
The entrance cross on 7th Avenue - ground to rooftop
The interior is simply beautiful - seeing the attention to detail, creative use of space, abundant light and use of coloured glass, wall coverings and fixtures really fills us with Gratitude: our most frequently used expression.
This coming Saturday we are expecting to begin MOVE 3: moving all the children's desks and chairs into the new building for safe keeping as the abatement process begins on our little old school. Thank you to all the parents and alumni students who have signed up through ON VOLUNTEER to help with this task. If you can help, please sign up - or just come!
This is an ADULT ONLY activity and will require lifting student desks and chairs.
All are welcome 8:00 - 12:00 AM, Saturday, August 15, 2015
The freshly poured cement at what will be the exit driveway on the west side of our school property
Looking east on 7th Avenue and seeing the openness that City of Vancouver's tree trimming has created for our north facing rooms and entrance way (and viewing the elevated apparatus that allows for the brick layers to work their way in tandem up the wall)
