Children were turned back from a number of schools today, as repairs and reconstruction works were not yet completed. Parents made a fuss about not knowing beforehand that the schools were not opening and added that they still were not given a definite date of reopening.

Earlier on Thursday, the Speyside High School held their Sports and Family day at the Speyside Recreation Grounds. Scores of students, parents and villagers all flocked to the grounds today to partake in the school’s annual family day and sports.
