While the assembly was in progress the demolition vehicles were already arriving. The hall, 9 classrooms and the staff room were demolished during the school holidays. 7 classrooms, a library and staff areas had already been built but the hall was not replaced, in spite of the efforts of the school committee. The principal of the school, Mr B H Wilkinson said that until the hall was replaced the school programme would be limited. The hall was built by the community in 1926.
