KUCHING: The management of SMK St Teresa is seeking additional funding from the Ministry of Education in the form of grants to cover the reconstruction of the school’s buildings which were damaged in a fire two years ago.
The school needed RM8.2 million for the reconstruction of administrative blocks, classrooms, and multi-purpose hall.
Currently, the total funds collected has reached RM3.2 million and they are still short of RM600,000 to cover the first phase, which costs RM3.8 million.
The first phase will commence at the end of this year and is expected to be completed by December 2020. They have to rebuild the school in phases due to the lack of funds.
They also hope that the public, particularly the school’s former students as well as private companies, would contribute by purchasing tickets for the charity dinner at RM150, RM300, and RM500.
For more information or to find out how to donate, members of the public can contact Kiew Lee Chin at 019-8941923 or Tan Pek Huang at 016-8898113 for more details. – Bernama
