New hope for education in Narraville

The official inauguration of the brand-new Narraville High School took place on yesterday in Walvis Bay, marking a significant step towards educational advancement in the Erongo Region.Theresia Goagoses, the education inspector for the Walvis Bay circuit, expressed her pride and gratitude during the ceremony, highlighting the collaborative efforts that brought this project to completion.During her welcoming address, Goagoses acknowledged the directorate of education&#039;s unwavering commitment under the leadership of Erongo educational director, Ernfriede Stephanus.“Their dedication to the progress of education in Namibia has paved the way for this fortunate day,” she said.According to the inspector, Narraville High School is a temporary name until the community presents one that resonates with the collective spirit of the harbour town. This process is part of the administrative requirements for school registration, a technical step that leads government financing and resourcing in order to sustain the school, she said.Academic year kicks offEnrolment figures currently stand at 330 learners, with the potential for more as parents finalise decisions. The academic year has kicked off with a team of eight teachers under the temporary leadership of Anton van Wyk, principal of De Duine Secondary School.Van Wyk&#039;s willingness to take on the task of overseeing two schools simultaneously has earned him the respect of the circuit inspector. He readily took on the task, saying: “It surely will not be easy, but I am ready".The school boasts 24 classrooms and four ablution facilities. However, an office block has yet to be constructed.In the absence of the office block, one classroom will be used for administrative functions and a storeroom has been transformed into the principal&#039;s temporary office.
