Auckland's Northcote College and Taranaki's Spotswood College were the two other schools included in the announcement. The details released a short time ago were:- Extending an existing redevelopment project at Wanaka’s Mt Aspiring College to replace poor condition relocatable classrooms, and better configure the site to accommodate future growth - $33.5 million (plus $13 million announced by this government in 2017). The programme was described in the announcement as the ''most ambitious school redevelopment programme by a New Zealand Government'' and would upgrade around 180 schools over the next 10 years. Mr Hipkins said the four projects and the $32 million for Taita College, announced recently, will be a major boost to regional economies.
