Cultural show to raise funds

STUDENTS and staff from a National Capital District school are on a drive to build an ablution facility after almost 16 years without one.
Since the establishment of Bomana Elementary School back in 1994, its students had been using the neigbouring primary school’s facilities and continue even to date, Joycline Tapaua, head teacher said.
She said  with the growing enrolment figures at both the primary and elementary schools, the school had to build its own amenities.
Tapaua said last Friday that they had also received recommendations from health authorities following the outbreak of cholera in the  city, advising them to build their own facility.
In their fundraising bid, the school staged a cultural day last Friday.
As it turned out, it was a fun-filled day of activities as students, teachers, parents’ entertainers and community travelled in droves to the school to witness and give their support.
Correctional Services deputy commander Michael Waipo, who was also one of the guest speakers, heaped praise on organisers and everyone.
He described the event as an “important initiative” for the school.
Board member Kevin Soweto encouraged everyone for their support towards the project.
The day’s events included traditional performances from the four regions of the country, creative dances, raffle ticket  draws, fashion parade and a prince and princess contest and more.
