Tawaimare Community High School in West Are’are, Malaita province has resumed classes after it was forced to close last week due to bad weather.
Last week Solomon Islands was placed under an Orange Alert in which heavy rains and strong winds were warned across the whole country.
Tawaimare CHS was one of the schools across the country which had to close due to the high risk posed on its students and staff.
The Deputy Principal of Tawaimare Community High School, Abraham Taloinao in an interview Friday last week said they have started their academic year and were only able to give few lessons to the students before they were forced to close.
“We have started our normal academic classes this week with a few lessons, but because the bad weather didn’t allow us, we postponed.
“But as the bad weather is now slowly moving away, we are resuming our normal classes this week,” he said.
He said that this week is a grace period for late registration for students who have not come to school and completed their registration due to the bad weather.
“This week, we have opened a grace period for late registration for those who live very far from the school, such as students from Tawaimare,” he said.
Taloinao said the school can be in full swing with its programs if all students are registered.
He said the school can’t start once the parents haven’t completed their students’ registration.
“We can fully swing into our full program if parents have enrolled their children on time,” he said.
Meanwhile, it is understood that most primary and secondary schools in Malaita Province will start their classes this week.
