This classroom should be ready for 2010. The school has been around since 1876. I loved the different layers and paint in this picture. Took this when looking at progress today. The following is taken from the herald.

Hamilton teacher Sheryl Nagels is still trying to understand why someone would consider trying to burn her historic school down.
Ms Nagels, a new entrants teacher at the decile 4 Hamilton East School for the past 14 years, was yesterday sifting through the burned remains of a classroom totally gutted in an arson attack.
"Our school has problems with vandals like any other school but this really is distressing ... it's a very old school," said Ms Nagels.
The school, which is part of the Hamilton East Heritage Trail, was first established nearby at Steele Park in 1872. It has been at its present site since 1876 and is Hamilton's oldest school.
Firefighters were called to the school, on the corner of Dawson and Grey Sts, shortly before 6am yesterday and arrived to find a vacant classroom well ablaze.
