The wood used for the flooring was rimu and matai. The roof was removed and and replaced with corrugated iron. The staffroom extended out so room 1 could be made the same as the other classrooms.On the 9th of July a steel beam was brought in so when the builders knocked out the wall it would be supported. The corridor was part of the classrooms so the classes were extended by 8.5m and sinks and benches were installed in classrooms. There was a new corridor added and a new door at the western end and a new door at the eastern end that lead to the storage cupboards and staff cloakroom. New pupil toilets were built at the rear with shelter to the corridor. Direct access doors facing the road, were cut into each class room.
