VIDE BOUTEILLE NEW PRIMARY SCHOOL IS NOW "OPEN AND FUNCTIONAL."

The new academic year began on Monday and as promised Construction and Industrial Equipment (CIE) Ltd has made it possible for students to utilize the newly constructed primary school at Vide Bouteille. School is "open and functional" says Mr Jeffery McKie, a CIE official. A small contingent of workers are still on site mopping things up. 

It was June 24th  last year at the school grounds that Construction and Industrial Equipment (CIE) Ltd., in conjunction with the Ministry of Education officials held  a sod-turning ceremony was held  to mark the commencement of the construction of the new Vide Bouteille Primary School.  

Within eighteen days of the sod-turning  event, or the week after school closed for the Summer holidays CIE crews were already at work carrying out excavatory  works on site - July 12, 2021, to be exact!

CIE Ltd has delivered as promised when it said the the school will be ready for the New academice year. Congratulations for a job well done.
