Social Studies Department
The mission of the Social Studies department is geared
towards meeting the challenges of the 21st
century and beyond, teaching life skills, producing stalwarts to
function in our global economy and
effectively and efficiently support the school in its endeavours,
uphold discipline and foster harmonious change.
Housed under the Social Studies Department are the disciplines of
Social Studies, Caribbean History, Religious Education,
and Geography. The Social Studies Department maintains a long standing
tradition of offering quality instruction to
students. Students are prepared by qualified, dedicated and committed
teachers for the various national and regional exams.
These exams include the Reform of Secondary Education (ROSE), Caribbean
Examinatios Council (CXC) and Secondary School
Certificate (SSC).
To enhance the academic performance of students, we involve them in
exciting learning experiences such as hands-on
activities, field trips, role playing, research and oral presentations.
As a result we have continued to see improved
exam results especially in CXC.
The members of the Social Studies Department desire to forge ahead
to maintain the moral and cultural upliftment of our
students as well as to equip them to face the challenge of the 21st
century, so that they will be more prepared to function
effectively in the changing world and make worthwhile contributions for
the betterment of our Jamaican society.
