St. Ambrose Primary School will remain closed tomorrow, Friday, following its early closure today to address evidence of mice and roach droppings on the premises.

The closure allows for recommended treatment of the school plant, as well as intensive industrial cleaning. Unwanted furniture, fittings, and equipment will also be removed to reduce conditions that may harbour pests.

The Ministry of Educational Transformation is coordinating closely with the Vector Control Unit and will follow their guidance on when the school can safely reopen. Parents and guardians will be notified directly by the school administration. Updates will also be shared through official media outlets, including the Ministry’s digital platforms.

The Ministry thanks the school community for their patience as efforts continue to restore the school’s environment to the required health and safety standards for students, educators, and staff. (PR)
