Slipe Leased Primary & Infant School: Rebuilding While Learning Continues
After the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa, Slipe Leased Primary & Infant School has officially reopened.
The rebuilding process is still ongoing.
Students are not back to normal learning conditions yet.
What’s happening now
- The school is operating during active reconstruction
- Students attend on a rotation system due to limited classroom space
- There are not enough functional classrooms for full-day attendance
- Temporary tent structures are being introduced to support learning during construction
- Teachers continue delivering instruction despite these constraints
What the community is facing
- Interrupted learning schedules
- Limited access to consistent classroom environments
- Ongoing recovery for families impacted by the hurricane
- Strain on daily school operations, including meals and basic student support

We are focused on stabilizing the school while rebuilding continues.
Priority needs include:
- Tents (to expand temporary learning spaces)
