Project Rationale
The City Centre Project will develop a new, centrally located school to serve the King George, Pleasant Hill and Princess Alexandra school communities. The project budget is estimated at $29 million. There are a number of considerations that support construction of a state-of-the-art school with the latest amenities to serve the learning needs of students.

​Serving the community

Almost two-thirds of students currently attending the three schools self-identify as Indigenous. A new school will be designed in consultation with Elders, community and partners. It will provide facilities and opportunities for ceremony and strengthen the work to support Indigenous students.
​

​Maintenance

The school division has consistently maintained the three facilities. However, the age of the buildings has resulted in an estimated $68 million in deferred maintenance costs for such things as mechanical and electrical system replacement, wheelchair accessibility and repairs to the building envelope. 		​Maintenance.jpg

​Funding

The Government of Saskatchewan has committed capital funding for the construction of a new school with capacity for 500 students. Anticipated initial enrollment is 400 students.

​Utilization

Learning and other activities at Princess Alexandra utilize less than two-thirds of the available space. Fifty-three per cent of available space is used at Pleasant Hill and just 35 per cent at King George.
