In an update from Acting Fire Chief, Gregory Wickham, he stated that the fire is still being investigated and noted that when the investigation is completed, a report will be prepared and published.
Last Wednesday, a fire of unknown origin ravaged the wooden top-half of the school. A teacher and six students were able to escape unharmed from the school before it was completely engulfed in flames, thanks to an alert cleaner who noticed smoke coming from a classroom and raised an alarm.
