Nadia is speaking to someone off-camera.
Nadia: New facilities create increased interest from the community. It becomes more than a school, it becomes a community centre because other people can start using the facilities for their own purposes. And increased community engagement leads to children wanting to bring their skills back out into the community and helps that continual community development.
We pan across a final illustrated render of the exterior of the upgrade.
