The new Avril Noble Crawford wing at the St. Winefride’s Secondary School was yesterday commissioned by Minister of Education Priya Manickchand allowing students who were previously attending on rotational basis to fully return.
The $85m wing forms part of an initiative to reduce the overcrowding in a number of schools. It includes classrooms to accommodate Grade 9 and 11 students as well as science laboratories. Previously, due to space limitations, students had to attend school on a rotational basis. This was said to be a frustrating period for many parents as expressed by the Parent-Teachers Association (PTA) in September. The new wing not only expands the school’s capacity but ensures that all students can attend classes without the constraints of rotation.
