KUCHING – St Teresa’s Secondary School management team, together with the chairman of the school board Thomas Huo, chairlady of the PTA Christina Tan, and school principal Mary John, were present to witness the blessing of the school’s new administrative and classroom block on 25 March 2021.
Kuching Archbishop Simon Poh, who was accompanied by Fr Galvin Richard Ngumbang and Fr Benard Jim Bujang, presided over the 11.00 am blessing ceremony. He congratulated the school on the completion of the first phase of the school’s Rebuilding Project.
The new block is built behind the old school hall that was gutted by fire in late October 2016. The construction which started in January 2019 was completed and handed over to the school on 10 February this year.
The newly completed classroom block consists of the Principal’s room, Senior Assistants’ rooms, Teresian gallery, General office, Staff room, Conference room, Guidance & Counselling room, Library, two Laboratories and six Classrooms occupying the 4-storey building.
After the blessing, Principal Mary John thanked Archbishop Simon Poh, Fr Galvin and Fr Benard for blessing the new block, and everyone who had helped in one way or another with the completion of the building.
