History
Construction began in January 2007 on a multipurpose hall and five additional classrooms to meet increasing enrolment needs and an expected expansion of the school curriculum. The multipurpose hall was in part meant to allow for school assemblies and other large meetings indoors (the school had been holding those events in a covered, outdoor basketball court).[1]
