Rumours of another school in Glenvista

According to Ward 23 councillor, Paul Smit, a school is going to be erected in Glenvista, bordering Bellairs Avenue and Hantamberg Avenue, due to open its doors in January 2015.

GLENVISTA –  The Comaro CHRONICLE heard from a reliable source that a school is going up and contacted Clr Smit, who said he had, at a late hour, been invited to a meeting at Mulbarton Primary School on Friday October 31, which took place at 13:00.

“School principals and governing body members were present. I couldn’t stay for the entire meeting due to another commitment. Although we need more schools in the area, I am not in favour of the structure of this proposed school for Glenvista. The plans being allegedly used are those of a rural school in KwaZulu Natal. These buildings will not fit into a wealthy suburb, such as Glenvista where homes sell upwards of over R1 million,” he said.

How many children will be accommodated in the school?

“I question why no public participation was called for? A public meeting should have been advertised well in advance so residents of the area could have voiced their opinions. I repeat again, I’m not in favour of this structure,” he added.

Information is sketchy at this point but we will keep our readers updated.
