(ANS - Hua Hin) - 24th January saw the opening of the new Mary Help of Christians building at Hua Hin`s Vithayalai Salesian School by Bishop Joseph Prathan Sridarunsil sdb.  It is no minor construction!  The building comprises 5 storeys built in a U-shape with a roof covering both building and space.

The first floor is largely empty space but for the multi-purpose area and is especially for gathering the students and other activities.  The remaining floors have classrooms and teachers rooms, though the second floor contains the library, the third ITC and languages, the fourth laboratories and the fifth meeting rooms and music rooms.

Vithayalai opened on May 17 1947 with just 47 students.  It now has 3,000 students from kindergarten to pre-university.

This 60th anniversary, which one correspondent describes as `a great gift of the Lord to the THA Province` is a three day celebration of which the opening of the blessing and opening of the new building was but the start. On 25th, the school held an academic contest day and today, 26th, the final day, is the culmination with a gathering of past pupils, parents and benefactors.
