When addressing the school, country Manager Tunumafono Jennifer Fruean highlighted BSPs continued partnerships and community landmarks across the region.

“BSP takes immense pride in initiating these community projects that benefit communities, especially to schools for the young generation.
Completing this community project signifies another significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between BSP and the community. It serves as a testament to the power of public-private partnerships in fostering positive change and driving educational advancement,” added Fruean.

“This will boost students learning experience providing a convenient study environment with tools and skills necessary to thrive in the digital age. Moreover, encourage teachers to deliver lessons with ease.”
