Phase Two of the project entailed the construction of: • A two-level administration building with basement. The 3 000 m 2 structure includes various school facilities, including a music room; • A dining hall of 600 m 2 ; and • Four accommodation structures – three double-storey and one single-storey, comprising three hostels and caretaker premises, each covering 200 m 2 .

Pieter Venter said: “We also had to partially demolish an existing admin building which had an interesting old dome structure on top of the roof which could not be retained as it was regarded as unsafe. This has called for the meticulous rebuilding of the 6m by 6m dome to its original specifications,” Venter explained. The need for a totally soundproof admin building called for the extensive installation of dry wall partitioning, he added. 
