Construction works on the sensory hydrotherapy pool complex at San Miguel Primary Education Resource Centre in Pembroke reached the 50% mark as at the end of January 2026.
San Miguel Primary Education Resource Centre provides education on a full-time basis to over 20 pupils aged from 3 to 11 years. It also provides services to around 60 pupils from state, church, and independent schools. All pupils have complex needs and the learning process has to be a sensory experience.
San Miguel provides early intervention to a group of babies and toddlers who have individual educational needs, as well as support to their parents. The centre also provides support to the learning support educators who accompany the students from mainstream schools. San Miguel is committed to the principle of inclusion and thus organises activities in which its pupils learn and have fun alongside their peers from mainstream primary schools.
This project involves the construction of a new building with a footprint of 557 square meters and which will be accessible both from the existing school and also from a separate entrance so as to have an independent access for use after school hours. The facilities will include a sensory-hydro-therapy pool and jacuzzi to accommodate a maximum of 16 bathers at any one time.
The project is estimated to cost approximately €5.7 million.
Early in 2026, mechanical and electrical works on the new complex have commenced as well.
