OFFICIAL OPENING OF NEW PORCUPINE PLAIN SCHOOL CELEBRATED

Released on September 26, 2011

Education Minister Donna Harpauer joined students, staff, board members and community members today in a celebration to officially open the new Porcupine Plain Comprehensive School.

The Ministry of Education contributed $10.8 million toward the design and construction of the new school. The capital development project is valued at $15.9 million. The school division funded the balance of the project, which replaces the previous Porcupine Plain Composite School.

"Government is proud to support the continued success of the students in this community through our investment in the new Porcupine Plain Comprehensive School," Harpauer said. "Careful planning with the community and the school division has allowed us to also integrate a childcare unit into the facility so that we can help to meet the needs of this growing community now and into the future."

"The Board of Education has partnered with the ministry and with the school community to provide enhanced learning opportunities and bring the K-12 students of Porcupine Plain together in a beautiful new school," School Division Board Chair Jack Rowswell said.

The new PreK-12 school will provide a safe, appropriate and more efficient educational environment. The building has been designed to incorporate the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification standard and includes energy efficiencies and accessibility features. The school has an opening enrolment of 274 students and also includes a 24 seat child care centre.

Government has committed more than $376.5 million since November 2007 to move forward 38 major school capital projects and about 710 additional smaller school capital projects across the province. This represents a record high investment in school infrastructure over a four year period.
