My Department did not at any stage undertake to have a school in operation in Mayfield by early spring of 1972. It is intended to build a community school at Mayfield, which will cater for approximately 1,000 pupils—500 boys and 500 girls. A site has been selected and arrangements to start construction of the school building in July, 1972 are proceeding with a view to having the school in operation in September, 1973.
