Construction at Hay Park School

Our old library was a leaky building and wasn't a safe place. At the end of Term 1, our library, staff room and resource room was demolished. New building has begun. Today we had a cement truck and a cement pumping truck come into our school. The pump truck has some really long pipes that go high up in the air. The cement comes out of the pipe like a hose.

  1. Hi there I am Ben from may road school. Your new buildings are going to be good. Did you know that my Dad was one of the men who helped to pour the cement, :) When he came home his gumboots were covered in cement!
