As the Deputy is aware the school in question was completely destroyed by fire last Wednesday 16th October and has remained closed since. The school is due to re-open on the 4th November 2019 (after mid-term break) in two local schools.

I visited with the school last Wednesday the morning of the fire and met with the Principal, representatives of the patron, some members of staff and some parents. My Department is providing every assistance to the school community during this difficult time and the immediate focus is getting the school back in operation on the 4th November.
