Lack of water forces suspension of classes at two schools in St James

    
Classes were suspended at two schools in St James on Monday, due to a lack of  water.
     
Hundreds of  students from Irwin Primary and Irwin High, were sent home after an assessment by school administrators.The schools have been without water since Friday.  
     
Principal of  Irwin High, Aldin Bellinfante, explained that the decision was made to suspend classes, as the 1,300 students and 100 members of  staff  could not be accommodated.  
     
He explained that water tanks can only supply the school with one day's supply of  water.
 
However  classes will resume at Irwin High on Tuesday as water has now been restored to the area.
