Destroyed: A teacher attempting to salvage learning materials after the school was hit by floods.

STUDENTS at SK Canossian Convent in Segamat, Johor, can finally look forward to new canteen and classroom furniture to replace those destroyed by recent floods.

The school received RM35,830 from OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad on June 21 under the Financial Industry Collective Outreach (Finco) Disaster Relief Programme for the purchase of cupboards, tables, chairs, racks and benches to benefit its 168 students. The school, which was hit by floods in 2006 and 2011 and whose students are mainly from B40 families, was again badly hit by floods on March 1 this year, with floodwaters rising to over one metre.
