Home Economics

The Home Economics Department continues to keep the school's motto of striving for excellence alive through adherence to its own objective of adequately preparing students for succeeding in both internal and external examinations.

Since the school's inception in 1980, the Home Economics Department has been a standard bearer in the area of Technical Vocational Education. To date, the department continues to have a high passing rate boasting passes of 80% and above in all Home Economic subject areas entered at the G.C.S.E level. With a cadre of professionally trained staff, the department expects similar or better results in the ensuing years.

The department strives to uphold a motto which states: Inspired to believe, motivated to achieve. In order to survive in the present economic climate and to become self-sufficient, the department has embarked on an on-going fundraising venture. This has assisted in the passage of excellence for which the school is acclaimed. With a practical approach to the teaching of the triad Home Economics subjects, the department has evolved into a proactive section of the school where students and teachers enjoy symbiotic relationships in an endeavour for success.

As the school begins another 25 years of excellence, the Home Economics Department promises to be the forerunners of distinction that it has always been.
