I was principal at Leanyer School for 20 years before retiring 12 years ago.

Had the Labour government been returned at the election on the weekend, there was a promise that if the Wanguri Seat passed to Shlok Sharma, the school would be upgraded in terms of facilities and staff to the tune of $4 million.

With the CLP winning government, that has gone, with the promise being blown away in the wind of political change.

This issue has caused me to reflect upon the school and its community.
