Students of the Bendals Primary School have returned to face-to-face classes nearly two weeks after a fire forced a temporary disruption to normal school operations.

The fire destroyed the school’s administrative building, which housed the staffroom, the principal’s office, as well as bathroom and kitchen facilities, creating significant challenges for the school community.

In the aftermath of the blaze, the Board of Education, in collaboration with other key stakeholders, moved quickly to implement short-term measures to allow teaching and learning to resume. These temporary arrangements are expected to remain in place while restoration and rebuilding work on the damaged administrative building is undertaken.

Meanwhile, the Fire Department is continuing its investigation into the cause of the fire.
