Adjournment Matters. - Schools Building Projects.

 

The school is an amalgamation of St. Mary's primary school and St. Joseph's primary school. However, instead of being on one campus, the amalgamated school is on split campuses. The junior school is located in a building over 100 years old with many steps and stairs. This flies in the face of the recommendations, provisions and requirements of the Health and Safety Authority not to have children of four, five and six years of age in such accommodation. The two schools are a quarter of a mile apart and the situation is totally unsatisfactory. There are 246 students and 18 teachers, yet the principal does not have an office as it has to be used for class hall provision.
