School Year 2021-2022 in Review
The school year 2022-2023 commenced on Tuesday, 13th September. This year forty-five (45) new students entered the school bringing the roll to two hundred and forty-five (245).
During the previous year (2021-2022) several areas of the school were renovated, repainted, repaired and upgraded.
Building
A permanent stage was erected on the playing field in front of the Murray Wing. Hopefully we will witness several outstanding performances.
The lighting system was changed to the more energy efficient LED bulbs in the Murray wing and Chapel.
Staff
There were no departures from the teaching or ancillary staff.
Mr. Kevon Squires joined the teaching staff and Mr. Eyorn Homer joined the ancillary staff
Training
The entire teaching staff undertook an introductory course in Coding.
Sign Language was introduced and placed on the curriculum in some classes.
Sports
The School entered several competitions.
Road tennis – First Round
Swimming – Third
NAPSAC – 5th of 76 schools
Football – Champions
We finished a commendable third in the Swimming competition.
In Athletics we continued to impress. Our athletes gave of their best and although they were out of the medals, they managed fifth position. When we consider that there were seventy-five other schools, we must compliment the squad.
Special mention must be made of the Football squad. The boys showed that we are not only academically disciplined but well versed in soccer. Our Coach must take a bow for the school’s outstanding performances. Well done Coach Greaves. We look forward to further success in the next season.
Programs
The Independence concert and Christmas concert were moved to the playing field on the newly constructed stage.
Both were resounding successes with crowds in excess of 800 and 500 respectively.
The school sponsored a fun-day (lunch included) as a giveback to the students at the end of the term. At the end of the day one look at the faces and it was clear that they totally enjoyed the day.
As normal our Internal exams were held with all classes averaging over 80%.
There were areas of concern detected in Language Arts, mainly in Spelling & Comprehension. Measures were discussed at the end of term and have been implemented.
Intensive coordinating remains in place to remediate.
