In 1934 this old School was set on fire one night. It has not been discovered up to now who did this. The Catholics were blamed. On the other hand it was reported that some of the Protestant did it themselves.

At present there are only nine Protestants going there.
This School is only about seven minutes walk from the Temporary Catholic School.
