There will be a new classroom block to accommodate Grades 10 to 12 as well as an office and a staff room.\u00a0 The higher grades also require a science block, which has been achieved by upgrading of the electronics school facilities. This lab will now be shared with the Electronics department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a picture of ongoing work to extend the primary school facilities at Makeni Centre.
