“In 2013 when I took over I managed to develop the wooden into a block building and the school has been hit by rainstorm twice.”

She indicated that the learning materials that were salvaged from the downpour has been moved to a save location.

Ms Waszari said a report has been sent to the Metro Education Director to find a solution to the problem.

She appealed to individuals, institutions to come to the aid of the school to enable them to fix the problem before school reopens.
