The newly constructed four-storey SJK (C) Aik Hua in Lilitan Sungai Ara is set to welcome its first batch of pupils beginning March this year.

Having undergone construction before the Covid-19 pandemic, the primary school in Muntri Street, which has been inclusive of special needs pupils, is ready for relocation to Lilitan Sungai Ara.

The primary school has existed for more than 100 years old in Muntri Street.

Speaking to the reporters after visiting the new premises in Lilitan Sungai Ara, the school’s board chairman Datuk Gary Choot said the school would initially feature 10 classrooms, comprising six normal classes, and four special needs classes.

“Our target is to have 36 classrooms, but we will have 10 classes for a start. The pupils from the exisiting primary school will be transferred here while we also welcome new enrolments.

“The new primary school building here can be considered as the first primary school to have the green building index certification. It also has the rain harvesting tank system in line with the environmental-friendly initiative.

“We hope to provide a conducive learning environment to the students,” he said.

Subsequently, the media was taken on a tour of the school. There are numerous facilities in the school, including a badminton court, hall, teachers’ room, reception area, and classrooms.
