Mayo Fine Gael TD Michael Ring has confirmed that St Louis Community School in Kiltimagh has recently been approved for major refurbishment works.
The programme of works includes various automated features; additional toilet facilities; upgrading of the school lifts; new flooring; new doors; resurfacing of paths and walkways and improvements to the school canteen.
The project will now be going to tender and progressing to the work stage as quickly as possible.
Substantial funding has been allocated to the works.
Deputy Ring commented: “In addition, St Louis is at the design stage of its multi-million extension, which will bring new woodwork, engineering, art, science, technology, Home Economics classrooms as well as a number of general classrooms.
“In the past school year, St Louis has received almost €1 million for specialist equipment for their practical classrooms.
“I wish to compliment the principal Regina Anderson, all her staff and the pupils of St Louis Community School. This a progressive school with 700 students attending.
“I have no doubt that this funding that has now been announced for the school will be a huge benefit to pupils and to their teachers. I wish St Louis Community School continued success,” concluded Deputy Ring.
