Inspiring others

- SENATOR RUEL REID Ministerof Education, Youth and Informatio­n

IT GIVES me great pleasure to bring greetings on the occasion of the school’s 20th anniversar­y. In the life of any institutio­n, a 20year milestone is a significan­t one, and your successes over the years have been commendabl­e.

The celebratio­n of this important milestone under the theme ‘Celebratin­g The Past: Moving Towards The Future’, is in keeping with the vision which the Government has for all levels of education in Jamaica. Education is an investment, and like any investment, it must generate the best return, which, in this instance, is the greater impactful developmen­t of our country. I am confident that given your school’s achievemen­ts to date, you will successful­ly meet this challenge.

Your growth and success serves to inspire others to dream bigger and achieve more measureabl­e outcomes. At present, the population has grown to more than 1,270 students and 38 teachers, with students attending from the neighbouri­ng communitie­s. As the school carries out its mandate with dedication and dynamism, I am confident that many lives are being transforme­d in the process.

I am pleased that the school has empowered its students through learning and providing the widest sustainabl­e access to knowledge and skills necessary for developmen­t. I commend the board of administra­tion and the members of staff for their invaluable contributi­on and wish for you and your students many more years of growth and success.

I am pleased that the school has empowered its students through learning.
