Work Experience Report
The Work Experience programme has been an integral component of the
school's curriculum for the past twenty (20) years.
Grade eleven students are placed in work stations at agencies in
both the Private and Public Sectors to sample first-hand
a realistic employment situation and are given a chance to practice the
knowledge and skills they have gained in the final
two years at school. The importance of the Work Experience programme
cannot be over-emphasized since it forms an important
part of students' Ministry Certification and is an added advantage when
they gain employment.
One valuable objective of the programme is the development of a
working relationship among the school, the community and the
business industry.
Many students who are unable to move on to sixth form or into
tertiary institutions are often able to gain employment at
the establishment from which they gained their work experience.
The 2005-2006 Work Experience programme started off with average
success but came upon many obstacles in the first and
second terms of the academic year. We recall the events of two
hurricanes, several road blocks and other unfortunate events
which hampered the mobility of students who were placed on the
programme.
We are however thankful to the management and staff of all work
agencies, who have facilitated the program over the years.
As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, 25 of these companies were
honoured at our annual Prize Giving Ceremony.
To the parents who surmounted the economic hardships and made
sacrifices so that their children could be involved, you have
ably done your part.
To the gruduates, I say let God be your guide as you leave this
noble institution.
