St George Secondary closed next week

The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training has advised that the St. George Secondary School, located at Constant, St. George, will remain closed for the first week of the new school term.

It will reopen on Tuesday, April 23.

The closure is to allow for extensive refurbishment work on some of the bathrooms and ceilings, as well as for paint work to be completed throughout most of the school plant.  New potable emergency water tanks are also being installed at the school to provide a constant supply of water, in the event of a water outage.

The ministry regrets any inconvenience the closure may cause and thanks parents and guardians for their understanding.
