The reconstruction of the Enlighten Hall is complete.

The hall features a Language and Numeracy Laboratory upstairs, catering for 24 students, as well as two additional training rooms downstairs.

The change has been welcomed by all and has transformed the hall into a friendly and attractive space for training.

After 2 1/2 months of translating our winning mosaic design onto panels we started mounting the 32 panels onto the 6 walls. Great excitement!!! It is as well that the traffic department recently put up a stop street on our corner as I am certain many accidents would happen as passing motorists admire the work of art. Well done to the team!!

We now hope the weather holds so that we can join the panels and grout them in time for our unveiling on 21st May 2009.

The panels look amazing and staff check in every day to see the magic in progress.

The hall was fully utilized for the whole of November by the Qhayiya matrics to write their final examinations.  In order to meet departmental space requirements, we have also had to make the training room available for the overflow of students.  This has been a major undertaking, especially on the two occasions when we have had to clear the hall for other events booked a long time ago.

The ORT technology teachers have also written their final exams – squashed like sardines into the training room.  They will be mightily relieved to have their weekends to themselves again.  There will be an official graduation early in the new year.  We will make every effort to ensure that these teachers are used in posts where they can apply their technology training from the beginning of next year.
