The pupils have at their disposal the library of the school. We work at the moment to create programs on the computer given to us by the Library of the Theological Faculty from Iasi.
Last academic year and during the holyday we worked to the improvement of the quality of the spaces of teaching and accomodation:
Together with the advisors of the classes and the parents comitees we created two other labs (one of computers with 10 computers and one of painting for the classes of Patrimony profile.) In the classrooms and in the corridors we repaired the walls and covered them with wood on a surface of many meters. The floor in many clasrooms and dormitories had been cleansed. The process of reparation is going on with the workers employed in our institution. In order that our students benefit as much as possible of good hygienic conditions we built up a solar installation which assures a good part of warm water . We have hopes that this year too we would be able to have good conditions for our teaching activity.
A part of the money for the housekeeping, administration and electrical energy are assured by the Departmental Council through the Local Council, two of the institutions with which we have very fruitful relationships.
