The school has been provided with a water cooler along with a storage tank and water pump. To encourage sports activities, the renovation work extended to the playfield.

It was a proud moment for me personally to the see the bright, eager and happy faces of the students. It has reinforced my belief that we have done the right thing by supporting and empowering the students by investing in the educational and sanitation infrastructure. We intend to continue our association with the school and gradually make this into a model school,” the Tenon chairman said.
