Our 2025 Goals
Library
Reading is fundamental and we understand that the students enjoy reading; so our mission is to procure reading books and other materials to the school library. This year, two past students were instrumental in donating various types of books to the school, which was a blessing.
STEM Lab
Completion of a state-of-the-art Stem Lab for the students is still in progress. We want to engage the students to get ready for a STEM career at an early age. The STEM Program will build confidence and enhance critical thinking skills in the students.
We worked with a Carpenter to build 2 Robotics Table Toppers and workboards, 24 stools and 6 tables. We also donated 12 laptops. However, the Lab still needs tablets, laptops, storage bins, cupboards with sink, laminated whiteboard, STEM kits and other materials.
The school has a very dedicated teacher, Mr. Hewitt, who is astute in running the STEM Lab. The students competed in their 2nd Robotics Competition in May 2024.
Classroom Furniture
The classrooms need lots of upgraded furniture, such as desks, chairs; overall the school needs laptop computers, large TVs, a photocopier and projectors for classroom presentations.
