Hutt Valley High School’s chairman of the board of trustees, Hamish Bowen, says redevelopment plans need to go beyond demolishing the mouldy C Block.
With Hutt Valley High School’s mould-riddled C Block slated for demolition, the school’s board chairman says a much wider redevelopment is needed to avoid history being repeated.
In March, several classrooms in the school's C Block were evacuated and sealed off after unsafe levels of black mould were detected. Following more testing, thirteen learning spaces and a dance studio were closed which has forced senior students to work from home when term two started this week.
