Expansion of Sathya Sai Primary School
New Classrooms and Library-Resource Centre
Introduction
The enrolment in year 2007 was around 105 students, and it was expected that the number wass likely to increase beyond that. At that time, the school capacity was just enough classrooms and demountables to accommodate these numbers. The local community is becoming increasingly aware of the nature and philosophy of the Sai School. You may read a Brochure on the School Building Program. (PDF, 1.23MB)
A key component of the Institute of Sathya Sai Education's vision is the development of the Sathya Sai Primary School at Murwillumbah (NSW) into a model Primary School for values-based education, delivering excellence in academic performance and character development.
School Directors have a firm belief that our school at Murwillumbah can play a significant role in advancing the introduction of EHV into schools throughout Australia.
It is planned that the school will have a final enrolment of approximately 7 separate grades or approximately 150-165 pupils. However, the current growth alone means the school will require additional classrooms by the year 2008.
Planning and Development
Land adjacent to the school was acquired. This land was cleared and it was found via soil samples that decontamination was required. This was essential and somewhat delayed progress.
The cleared land, prior to further work.
An architect was been engaged to draw up plans and the acquired land proved sufficient for expansion.
You may view a Photo Album of the land acquired and cleared for additional buildings
The design shows that there will be separate rooms for each class.
The next design shows the movement of the staff carpark to the rear of the school, and the provision of a lane.
A Photo Album of the construction of Stage 1 is available for viewing.
The building program will be in two stages and is as follows:
Stage 1
- Kindergarten plus Classes 1 and 2
- Ready for Occupation mid 2008
- Estimated Cost: $300,000
You may view a Photo Album of the completion of the First Stage of Works.
