The Chairman and Board of Governors of St. Roses High School would like to announce that works on the new Campus Building located on Church Street has finally begun on the 22nd February 2020 (see enclosed current construction photos), via the selected contractor Courtney Benn Contracting Ltd. The first construction task is to supply and drive approximately two hundred and twenty (220) timber piles to support the 3/4 story building as depicted in the enclosed rendering and site plan design. The current round of works to be conducted under the pile driving exercise is expected to last approximately four (4) weeks with the contractors contractually bound to complete all works under the said contract for the entire construction exercise no later than 21st August 2021 as they have signed an 18month construction contract for delivery of the completed new Campus Building.

Many features have been retained but enhanced, including the internal courtyard green space garden feature, enhanced canteen and dining area, off street drop off, pickup and parking via an internal driveway, wheelchair access to all levels via an elevator, a large fifteen hundred (1,500)seat internal auditorium with stage and a separate audio visual monitoring and control room, a new internal Physical Education Department, a new Information Technology Laboratory, just to name a few.

We take the time and opportunity to thank all of the stakeholders including the Ursuline Convent, The Ministry of Education, The Ministry of Finance, Bynoe Rowe & Wiltshire Consultants, The Principal, Teachers, Staff and Students of St. Roses High School, The US and Toronto Alumni Chapters, The Board Members and all others who supported us to this stage. We would like to encourage the contractor, that during the entire construction phase that they always operate in a safe, noise and dust free environment, and within the agreed guidelines, as the construction site is adjacent to our existing school. More importantly, we strongly encourage the chosen contractor to remain committed to completing our new Campus Building within the time frame allocated under the contract and to the prescribed standard and qualityas our stakeholders and partners will remain vigilant in their observations of these two vital aspects, throughout the impending construction process.

Always In SERVIAM
