GARIES HIGH SCHOOL IN FLAMES
The Northern Cape Department of Education can confirm that a fire has erupted at the Garies high School in the Namakwa District this morning. At this stage, the exact cause of the fire is not clear, nor whether arson is suspected.
The fire is currently burning beyond control and we are not sure about the extent of the damage. The situation concerns us hugely as a Department especially during this time of the year, where learners are bury with Examinations and possibly could lose all their schoolwork. The fire is a devastating blow as the school serves a number of surrounding communities in the Kammiesberg Municipality and also accommodates Grade 12 learners.
The department will assess the damage, once the fire is brought under control and also determine an immediate emergency plan to assist the educators, learners and support staff of Garies High School.
End.
