Ten years ago we were promised a new school by the Department of Education. Back then, the number of children in the school was at 450, and now it's at 907. There are 407 children in prefabs alone, and they've rotted due to mould, making our children sick. There are holes in the roofs, causing the electricity to blow on several occasions. Just this year I've had to collect my child from school twice because the playgrounds are overcrowded. A new school was promised and was put on the bill for 2016/2017 renovations, but was just recently taken from the bill – and we're just sick of it.
We sincerely hope their little voices are heard, and that a new school is in the making for the children of St. Mochta's. In the meantime, adults – take note. These kids mean business.
