Wawin National School of Excellence in Morobe is calling on relevant authorities to intervene and assess several damages caused by the recent massive earthquake and determine if the buildings are fit for use by students.
The recent 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Morobe, Madang and parts of the Highlands Region and was even felt in other provinces on Sunday morning.
At Wawin National School of Excellence, 10 classrooms, four laboratories and dormitories received damages as a direct result of the earthquake on the aging infrastructure.
The classrooms and laboratories were the worst affected encountering huge cracks and dislocation of building structures.
Deputy Principal Mr. Erick Kep said the school needed immediate inspection and guarantee of the relevant authorities whether it was safe for use by students and teachers.
The school building was funded by the Japanese government and constructed by COVEC building construction 22 years ago.
Most of the rooms joint structures have been dislocated by the continuous force of the quake.
Roof ceilings and walls mostly bricks have cracks and have fallen off causing a safety hazard to students and teachers.
The school took Monday off to clear out the structural remains and visible debris to allow for inspection.
