I acknowledge the Department has been cognisant of the needs of the school. It is for that reason that the school received approval for two mainstream classrooms and two special education teaching rooms. That is currently at tender stage. The Department has recognised the challenges the school has faced. That was in addition to a further ASA scheme in 2022 for modular accommodation to provide a mainstream classroom and two special education tuition rooms. The Department has been cognisant of the great work happening in that school every day, the delivery of education, the dedication to students and the need for appropriate facilities. This has been put in place between 2022 and currently.

On the site becoming available, which was notified to the Department at the end of February, the application that came in on 21 May for consideration for capital funding will be considered in due course.
