MT. NEWTON SCHOOL

Wednesday, October 28, 1987

Mount Newton Middle

’ School parents, whose children

will become too old to enjoy.a
new facility, crowded Central
Saanich council chambers Oct.

19 calling for the relocation of.

the present school site.

By PETER SMITH

Review Staff Writer

Approximately. 300 members

of the the Mount Newton Mid-
dle School Parents’ Auxiliary
filled the council. chambers,
hallways and parking lot of the
municipal hall. Inside, represen-
tatives of the parents’ commit-
tee called on-council to ‘‘fast
track’’ the process for a school

~ on agricultural land.

‘“‘We are not agitators. We
are here ‘because we are.very,
very concerned,’’ Dr. Peter
Gardnertoldcouncil. .

“Our children will be through
the school by the time a new one
is built,’’ he pointed out.

The 575 students at Mount
Newton school, for Grades 6, 7
and 8, do not have appropriate
washroom facilties or classroom
space. The school, located next
to Butler’s gravel pit. off

_ Keating Crossroad, has limited

field space and the levels of in-
dustrial dust’ and .noise. are
hazardous _ to
health, the parents argued. -
Gardner, a parent and ex-
Student. of Mount Newton

school, said emergency evacua-.

tions routes are insufficient. He
estimated. some 200° students
would be trapped in the event of
fire.

‘*This is a’ very serious situa-
tion,’’ Gardner emphasized. He
said the present facility is cur-
rently illegal, in terms of

acreage and : the number of
. students attending the school.

Another plus. for -the
