Slie Canabiatt Statesman 62 King St. West Bowmanville Telephone 623-3303 Newcastle's new elementary elementary school will be a dream come true for students, staff and parents associated with the gleaming building nearing completion at the site off Beaver Beaver St. But, the completion of the school has not been without challenges. Building Will be Beady for Students By Sept. 3 For one thing, there was a two-month delay in getting all of the necessary permits to begin begin the building. Then, with workers racing against time to complete the project, the school was hit with another setback last week after vandals smashed several washrooms and caused significant water damage. But, come Tuesday, everyone everyone expects most of the difficulties difficulties will be behind them as the first students step into their new building. The Newcastle Public School is physically the largest elementary school building in the jurisdiction of the Northumberland Northumberland and Ciarington Public Public School Board. It will have an enrollment of about 600. And students, staff and parents parents who have made do with the old school and its portables for some many years arc bound to be happy with the results. Step inside the front doors and one of the first things you notice is the overwhelming amount of space. In total, there are 16 classrooms, classrooms, four kindergarten classes classes and three additional classrooms classrooms for special education. But, that's not all. The school boasts a huge gymnasium, which can be divided divided to accommodate two sports at once. The kindergarten holds between between 80 and 100 students and includes its own entrances, along Wjth iwb.kitchens, complete complete with kid-sized cupboards, which are shared by each of the two kindergarten classrooms. classrooms. Thanks to the fund-raising efforts, of the parents, there is money set aside to build two new creative playgrounds on the school site. The library can only be described described as huge. It is open to plenty of natural sunlight and will have a computer nook and a place where students can gather for story-telling. All computers in the school will be linked together, so that a student working on any computer computer terminal can gain access to his or her projects. A day-care facility, associated associated with the YMCA, will be part of the school. In addition, the building has been constructed with access for community groups in mind. Susan Medd, Principal of the Newcastle Public School, says the community will be welcome to utilize such facilities facilities as the gymnasium, library and even classrooms. A large community kitchen will be available for school- related functions such as hot- lunch days. And, in addition, it will also be accessible to die community. "One of the most important things at the school was to make sure it maintained its community access," said Medd. The principal added that permits to outside groups wishing wishing to use the school will probably probably not be available until Jan- uaiy because workers will be Expansion Plans for Tyrone Park Continued from Page 1 site. Children using the sports fields come from not only Tyrone, but also Enniskillen, Haydon, Burketon and the surrounding surrounding rural areas.

The Community Centre already owns the land on which the soccer pitch is to be built. • The expansion plans will be discussed tonight (Wednesday, August 28) at 7 p.m., during a meeting in the Community Centre. A western dance and turkey dinner has been planned for October 5th to kick-off the fund-raising.

Pedestrian Killed by Train Durham Regional Police say a man was killed Sunday, August 25, at approximately 4 a.m. when he was struck by a train under the Brock Rd. overpass in Pickering. The name of the victim was not released, He was described as 25 to 30 years of age. The incident remains under investigation, using evening hours to put all of the finishing touches on the building. In an interview last week, Medd said the last-minute efforts efforts to complete the school have been difficult for school staff. "They're the ones who are really feeling the pinch," she explained. If this were a normal school year, teachers would have been in the building during August, O their classrooms ready. I be arranging their bulletin bulletin boards, organizing desks and generally preparing for the new school year. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened in Newcastle because because teachers weren't expected expected to get access to their rooms until the middle of this week at the earliest. As a result, the teachers' books, charts, posters and other equipment has been packed away from the final days at the old school building. Although die staff will need a lot of understanding, the principal principal predicts they'll be equal to the challenge. "The staff here is incredible," she said. And, once the teachers see the finished building, die inconveniences inconveniences associated with construction will all seem worthwhile. "Once they see the inside of the building, it'll be all right," the principal predicts. Leigh Oke, secretary for the school, said last week that she likes what she secs in the new building. "I like how light it is," she said. "We're not used to all those windows." "I think it'll be great."
