THE SJK(T) St Joseph, Sentul, is in need of more space to accommodate the increasing number of students each year.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) chairman, Alice Fatimah, said the school had 180 pupils, including 33 Year One pupils, which was the maximum.<\/p>\n

The school, which is a wooden building, was built in 1924<\/strong><\/span>,<\/p>\n

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister\u2019s Department, Datuk T. Murugiah visited the school to welcome the new pupils on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no basic fascilities in the school and has bad ventilation. It is hot all the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building is infested with termites and the resource centre is cramped. There is also no field for the pupils for sports activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that he would bring up the matter with MIC president Datuk G. Palanivel and would work towards getting land nearby for relocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school\u2019s PTA has identified five sites for relocation and the proposal will be presented to MIC.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a partially-aided school and owned by the church next door, we need permission from the church before carrying out any activities,\u201d said Murugiah.<\/p>\n

He thanked the parents who were willing to send their children to the school, in spite of its condition.<\/p>\n

The school had the best results in UPSR among Tamil schools last year.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s headmistress, N. Kaveriammah, said they needed a bigger land and more facilities to perform better.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
