for the various aspects. The project that was issued to us students was to find, analyse and compile an Academic paper on: •
At least one international academic design-build project
•
At least three successful green schools
•
At least three successful multi-grade or small rural schools
•
And the process followed at St. Michaels Primary School
The purpose of this project will allow for us students to broaden our constructional knowledge by gaining a better understanding and by familiarizing ourselves with the: background/history of the various schools, organisational aspects within the building, a good understanding of sustainability, different construction processes/methods and to identify unforeseen problems, students perceptions, teaching methodologies and pedagogic rationale which will help us during our constructional phase upgrade at the St. Michaels Primary School in Grabouw. This Academic paper will not only include my observations gathered from the precedent studies but also the constructional issues within the design-build project.
