Demolition of the aged wooden section of St Rose’s High was agreed only after all options for preserving the building were explored and once demolition has occurred the new edifice would take around two years.
This was disclosed yesterday by Kenrick Thomas, Chair of the Board of Governors of the school in a statement. He did not say exactly when demolition will begin. The planned demolition had raised questions about whether the possibility of preserving the building erected in 1925 had been considered.
In the statement, the Board of Governors said it wished to inform the general public that the demolition of the School’s timber building facing Church Street will commence shortly and will be limited only to the aged wooden section that is in a state of disrepair.
