FOSA Donates fans
The days certainly are hot and for the new students in the prefab buildings it was extra hot since they lacked the trees and breeze they would normally be entitled to in the junior building, not to mention it's 49 year old cool soft stone bricks. Their cry was heard by the staff at the institution who sent out a request to the Foundation Old Scholars' Association. Made up of people who went to Foundation School the association responded and the very next Monday presented the school with 10 new fans to help ease the discomfort being felt by the first and second formers in the prefab buildings.

School resumes
The Foundation School threw open its doors on September 11th, 2006 for yet another term. However, this term, in fact this academic year, will be significantly different from anything in the recent history of the school.
The Edutech project
at Foundation is now in
full construction mode, a construction and renovation programme that will cost
Government over $8.5 million. Students this term can expect disruptions, heat,
noise and lots of dust.
So far the roof of the senior building has been removed and the hall has been demolished leaving in its place a large gaping space. Senior students are being housed in the junior building with some of their younger school mates while the remaining juniors were moved to the five prefab buildings constructed on the small pasture. The new industrial arts wing which will house the new Home Economics room and Electronics lab among others is nearly completed and should be in use by the end of September.
The new hall which is to be completed next year will be multi-level and contain a new Music room and MIS room on the top floor. It will have a large balcony for additional seating, dress rooms and a large ground floor, big enough to play basket ball, volleyball or tennis. The structure will begin where the pond currently is and extend right up to and including the space occupied by the decades old mahogany tree.
