Taupō-nui-a-Tia College principal Ben Claxton is a relieved man.
While the school is still coping with the conflagration earlier this year that destroyed the Nelson Block's 12 classrooms, he now has some fairly firm deadlines to look ahead to.
Twelve relocatable classrooms sitting on the school's sports field (eight of them temporary and which will eventually be removed) mean by the end of August all of the students should be accommodated back on college grounds.
The dozen refurbished prefabs will be in service until the new building is completed, with four from Papamoa College actually replacing some older versions decommissioned just after Claxton arrived at the school.
