Children Enjoy Kindergarten Playground

Ninety-nine children of Namaka Public School kin­dergarten in Nadi are now enjoying their new playground.

During the official handing over last Friday, headteacher Anasa Vateitei thanked the parents, teachers and management for their conrtribution in educating the grassroots Fijians with a prop­er learning environment.

Mr Vateitei said: “It is very much rewarding and exciting when we trust our parents and believing in what we can do to maximise the return and achievement like this.”

“It is good to see the support of the parents at the kindergarten level. This is not a simple project, but I know all parents know the excitement the children get when we have this installed. We will not regret using the money on this and I must thank the parents and the management for it.

The new project costs $13,800 with parents contributing to the amount and the management completing the top up.

He added with the beautiful colours on this project, students should love it.

“Right now there are about 100 children but during school hours only 35 children can play at one time. There is more space for eve­ryone to enjoy,” said Mr Vateitei.

Meanwhile, the kindergarten students with their parents and teacher took time out to complete their WalkaThon from Martin­tar to Wailoaloa Beach on Friday where the students enjoyed vari­ous games and had a hearty lunch in school.

The Namaka Public School was established in 1962 and the kinder­garten in 2005. In 2016 there were 115 students who graduated and in 2017 there were 69 graduates.
