In 2023...
Our group is currently working with the school to introduce a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program into the curriculum during 2023, in a bid to gauge and increase interest in science and technology.
​
Additionally, we are committed to providing resources for the expansion of the schools Agricultural Science program, with the construction of a greenhouse and plans for further infrastructural expansion.
​
Another area of planned involvement is in providing resources, specifically for extra lessons in the sciences.
