ROSTHERN, SASK. — Work has wrapped up on a prekindergarten to Grade 12 school in Rosthern, Sask. with the facility set to open its doors next month.
Premier and Rosthern-Shellbrook MLA Scott Moe joined together with members of the Prairie Spirit School Division to officially open Rosthern Community School, which the province chipped in $26.5 million to build.
“Rosthern School will serve our students, school staff and community members as a hub for community development and activities,” Moe said in a statement. I could not be more proud of the work that has gone into this project to get us here today.”
The new PreK-12 school was completed on time and on budget. It takes the place of two schools, Rosthern Elementary School and Rosthern High School, both built in the 1960s.
“The Prairie Spirit Board of Education would like to thank the premier and the Government of Saskatchewan for the resources to construct this beautiful learning centre in Rosthern,” Prairie Spirit School Division Board chair Sam Dyck said. “It is our hope that the students who attend Rosthern Community School will develop positive relationships, learn to solve problems and build a sense of belonging.”
The new school can accommodate 400 students and offers news classrooms and offices with state-of-the-art technology; an arts and cultural space, which allows for the practice of smudging; a resource centre and outdoor learning spaces to enhance the learning of all students; one full-size and one separate smaller gymnasium; and common areas that will facilitate community events.
Rosthern Community School is also home to a new child care facility with room for 30 children, resulting in early learning, elementary and secondary education all in one building.
