This handover ceremony this morning marks the fourth school building that we are able to open from among the buildings that were deemed unusable after the 2017 disaster.  Immediately following the 2017 disasters, we assessed all school buildings and classified them as usable or unusable. Using that information, we were able to make several appeals for assistance from the business community, private donors and other organisations. We have benefitted greatly as a ministry from the public-private partnership that we share with the business community and today is yet another example of the benefits of this initiative.  

I am happy to be here today to celebrate with all of you – students, teachers and parents.
