with the demands of school. Some private and public primary school pupils wake up
as early as 4:00 am to beat the traffic and be in class on time. In the evening, they may
arrive home as late as 6:30 to 7:30 pm. The current floods in the city have not
made life easier for the pupils.(6)Last week, 11 pupils from Makini Schools waited
for 10 hours to be rescued when their school bus was nearly covered in water during a
