Praslin Island is divided into two districts, Baie St. Anne and Grand Anse, each with a primary school. The island’s only secondary school is situated in Grand Anse, where the school meals center is also located. The Baie St. Anne Primary School, however, has fallen into disrepair. Classrooms at the Grand Anse School are becoming crowded, and the meals center cannot accommodate the growing needs of the island. The project will tear down the Baie St. Anne School and rebuilt it at a better location. The new 4,600 m2, three-story facility will contain classrooms for special needs children and house a new school meals center. The new school will be able to accommodate 650 primary school pupils and provide crèche facilities for some 200 children.
