Lyttelton Primary Opens
March 31, 2019
Lyttelton Primary School throws open its classrooms for parents, children and the local community. A new building and new approach to education with modern learning techniques in a modern learning environment. After years of disruption following the earthquakes followed by the merger of Lyttelton Main and Lyttelton West schools, local pupils have a new school and theatre and an exciting future.

There are important lessons here for those watching New Zealand's own homegrown platforms which are taxpayer supported through NZ on Air. Whether freeview or payview, what are we actually seeing and why? what are we actually paying for and why? Are we simply paying millions to subsidise commercially fragile kiwi media platforms or are we paying to ensure a future for kiwi made factual content? These questions are particularly relevant as the government considers new funding models for both film and television.
The property was purchased by Habitus Group for the development of six new sustainable homes. But before they could start any new builds on the site they had to deal with the old and what job! Check out the Habitus link below.
