The KZN Department of Education’s deputy director general for Institutional Development, Judy Dlamini, in her quest to monitor progress of construction sites and ensure compliance, inspected Collingwood Primary School.

Accompanied by the district director for uMlazi, Busi Mahlambi, district officials, infrastructure officials, and the contractor of the project, conducted a walkabout to physically verify information contained in the report.

Collingwood Primary School was badly affected by storm damage that saw all the buildings being blown away and flooded. Learners had to be temporarily housed in park homes while awaiting the completion of this ultra-modern school.

In a statement, the KZN Department of Education said the project’s contractor was impressed with the progress of the work being carried out at the school.

The new building comprises:

• Grade R classes
• Standard classrooms
• Multipurpose classrooms
• Media centres
• Administration block
• Guard house
• Fencing and sports fields.

The learners and teachers eagerly await the opening of the school which is projected to be completed in 2026.
