The extension project for the school referred to by the Deputy is at the early stages of architectural planning. Given a significant decrease in enrolment at the school since the project was first approved, my officials need to engage with the school authorities on its precise accommodation requirements at this time and to cater for the long term projected enrolment. When this matter is finalised, consideration will be given to progressing the project in the context of the school building and modernisation programme 2005-2009.
