EDUCATION has been given the keys to the doors of St Sampson’s High and Le Murier schools.
Contractor R. G. Falla handed the development over to the department yesterday.
‘When you see it from conception through the design and planning to today in all its glory, it is amazing,’ said Geraint ap Sion, planning manager for schools and project director for the reorganisation of the secondary schools.
‘It really looks fantastic and everyone involved is very proud to be a part of it. The pupils, staff and community in general will all benefit from this.
‘This is an asset for Guernsey, not just for St Sampson’s. It is part of the future of the island,’ he said.
