KINGSTON, Jamaica — Students at Ferry Basic School in St Andrew will return to a refreshed and improved learning environment when school reopens, following extensive Labour Day enhancement works carried out by the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and its partners.

The improvements include roof repairs and structural strengthening works; demolition and reconstruction of the school’s kitchen; landscaping of the play area; playground improvements; drain cleaning; plumbing repairs; construction of two-bathroom vanities; repainting of sections of the school; and other general renovation works.

The project also included the installation of corrugated steel mesh covers over drainage areas as part of efforts to improve safety and enhance the overall school environment for students and staff.
