The school was generally in a good condition. Members were briefed on the incident resulting in the death of four learners in the hostel in December 2010 due to a fire outbreak, and how the school dealt with ensuring that this would not recur. Since the incident, all buildings have been fitted with smoke-detectors, fire alarms and fire-hydrants. Members requested the necessary information on the incident as well as the processes in respect of the suspension of the principal. Generally, the school structure (a dormitory/hostel) was not customized for a special school needs and had to be converted and adapted to the needs of the learners.
