Rising tides put up to 94 schools at risk of flooding and closures

A closed school is a headache for parents, children and teachers, yet planning appears to be scarce for up to 94 schools that could be affected by flooding as the tides rise. New Niwa models show Canterbury, Bay of Plenty and Waikato schools are the most likely to be hit by coastal flooding caused by up to 1 metre of sea level rise. Schools that could be in the flood risk zone after less than 50 centimetres of sea level rise include Napier Boys High, Kaiapoi High School and Opotiki College (see below for a full list). The rising tides could create flooding around school buildings and roads, affecting children s ability to get to and from classrooms. Seawater in pipes could cause toilets and sinks to back up, according to Niwa research. Despite this, the Ministry of Education had minimal adaptation plans in place.

Christchurch father helps school win Australasian landscape award

Rāwhiti School opened in 2015 and was born through the merger of three schools following the Canterbury earthquakes. It operated on dual sites for its first year before moving to its home site in Leaver Tce. CHRIS SKELTON/Stuff The design utilises many features similar to the coastal environment of the school – native bush, sand, wood and stone. The school is situated on the old North New Brighton School site. “I was keen to be involved [with the project] as we live close by, and our son had recently started at the school,” Scott told Landscape Architecture Aotearoa, published by the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects, after winning the award earlier this year.
