Providing a caring environment

IT GIVES me great pleasure to send a message on the occasion of Hosanna Preparatory School’s 20th anniversary. It is an occasion worth celebrating as we recognise 20 years of quality pre-primary and primary education to our children. This Anglican like all others, places a high premium on education providing a caring environment where all students can develop to the highest level of their spiritual, academic, emotional, and physical potential.

The celebration of this important milestone under the theme ‘Embracing the Past; Charting New Pathways for Today and the Future’ is in keeping with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information’s vision as we earnestly make an investment in quality at all levels of education in Jamaica.

I am pleased that the institution has empowered its students through providing the widest sustainable access to the knowledge and skills necessary for their development. I commend Mark and Carlene Duhaney, the board of administration, and the members of staff for their invaluable contribution to the education of some of the nation’s children. The parents deserve commendation for their continued support of the school.

May God continue to be your source of blessing, strength, and commitment as you continue to serve Jamaica, land we love.

KARL SAMUDA Minister Without Portfolio With Responsibility for Education, Youth and Information
