In addition to the classrooms and offices, the complex also includes playgrounds and a kitchen where meals can be cooked for the children. With this complex Rincón now has a school that meets today's standards and with room for new applications.
In June 2016, the first wall was symbolically demolished, in August 2017 the keys to the building were handed over to the former headmaster Mrs Jane Lo-A-Njoe. The renovation was carried out by the local contractor APA Construction NV, the design of the buildings is from Jacobs Architekten NV. The new playground of Tia Sus has been designed by Bodifeedesign.
The realization of the renovated school building is part of the educational housing plan for Bonaire, which is financed jointly by the Public Entity Bonaire and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). The renovation of the building component for Hardin Tia Sus was commissioned by the Public Entity and financed by a grant from the Ministry of Interior and Kingdom Relations.
The RC School Board is very pleased with the result.
