KAMLOOPS — Students and staff at Valleyview Secondary will move into the school’s new east wing when they return to class on April 4.

In a news release, School District 73 (SD73) says its maintenance staff will move fixtures and materials into the completed classrooms of east wing while Valleyview’s students and staff are away on the two-week spring break.

SD73 adds that Valleyview’s portables will be moved during spring break as east wing opens. Staff were able to tour the wing on March 17.

Construction of Valleyview Secondary’s $34.5 million expansion project is expected to be complete by its opening in September 2022. The east wing at Valleyview Secondary includes expansive windows, common areas for students to gather casually between classes, natural wood accents and inclusive washrooms.
