Jonathan Grant High School

Business Department

Mrs. Donna Cole-McNeil (Head)

As the school celebrates its Silver Anniversary, I take it a pleasure to be part of this noble institution, and must applaud this milestone.

Over the years the Business Education department continues to uphold the school's motto Strive for Excellence. The success the department has experienced over the years could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of the teachers who have motivated and inspired the students to uphold the school's motto. With a committed and experienced staff, the level of performance at all examination councils has maintained a high standard.

Over time, the number of academic staff members of the department moved from two to ten. At present there are six Information Technology teachers, and four teachers of Business Education.

The department continues to keep abreast of technology and offers students the best opportunities to keep pace with the developments in the global society. There are three computer labs which are equipped to cater to the needs of students, and allow Information Technology to be offered to students at all grade levels, and is compulsory for students who choose Business Education as a vocation.

The academic programme of the department include Office Administration (formerly Office Procedures), Principles of Business, Principles of Accounts, Busines Basics, Information Techonolgy and Electronic Document Preparation and Management (formerly Typewriting). The teachers are committed to ensuring that our students are able to function efficiently to enhance productivity in a dynamic work environment.

Students are reminded to Keep your eyes on the stars and you will become one. Respect yourselves and others and continue to strive for excellence in all your endeavours.
