Member of Parliament (MP) for East Honiara Constituency Morris To’iraena has appealed to the Chinese embassy to transform the future of Burns High Creek School.

Mr To’iraena appealed last Thursday at the handover of the China-donated basketball court to Burns Creek School at the school compound in East Honiara.

He said that the brand-new basketball hall, a gift made possible through the generosity of the Chinese government and the people of China, represents more than just a place to play – it is a symbol of friendship, support and shared commitment to the growth and success of young people.

“The school also needs specialised classrooms, such as industrial technology workshops and home economics labs, to equip students with practical skills to empower them for the workforce and entrepreneurship. There is also a need for a modern library to provide students with access to books research materials and even to broaden their knowledge and critical thinking skills,” he said.

“As we continue to improve our schools, we hope for further support in other critical areas of development. Burns Creek High School has been here for the past 60 years, and as you see, that’s the facility they have. In other words, the school also needs a fully equipped science laboratory to encourage hands-on learning and innovation in science and technology,” said MP To’iraena.

Mr To’iraena said that with continued support, Burns Creek High School can transform into a modern institution that will excel not only in sports but in academic and technical skills and personal development.
