Changes are ahead for Central Hawke’s Bay Technology Centre, based at Waipawa School.
Ministry of Education spokesperson, Jocelyn Mikaere, said with Waipawa School experiencing forecast roll growth and demand, it is anticipated that additional teaching spaces will be required at the school by 2024.
A decision on whether the Technology Centre will be relocated, or whether individual schools will handle their own technology is yet to be decided.
Ms Mikaere said the Ministry has been consulting with schools to review technology programme delivery in Central Hawkes Bay, which will feed into future decisions.
