A NEW HIGH SCHOOL TO BE BUILT IN ST HELENA BAY
I am pleased to announce that in yesterday's Council meeting, the Saldanha Bay Municipal Council unanimously approved item R15/10-24 to waive development charges for the construction of a new High School in Laingville, St Helena Bay.
This long-awaited victory follows an almost 5-year process of dogged persistence by the Saldanha Bay Municipal Council to highlight and press upon authorities the dire need of a high school for the town of St Helena Bay.
As the Executive Mayor of Saldanha Bay Municipality and on behalf of Council, I am incredibly delighted about this new High School. It will bring renewed hope to our residents who will no longer have to face the prospect of sending their children away to neighboring towns for higher education.
My sincere gratitude goes out to the Councillors as well as the Administration of SBM who persisted, working tirelessly, to make this dream a reality. Hopefully this is the first of many schools to follow.
The school is estimated to accommodate +- 1120 learners.
