Schools ready to go

GETTING READY: The teaching staff at St Paul’s Primary reviewing the instructional plan with principal Sandra Small-Thompson (second right).

THE OFFICIAL START of the Michaelmas term is exactly one week away and preparations have kicked into high gear.

Except for those schools where orientation was taking place, the compounds of the others were devoid of the chatter and footsteps of children, but principals and teachers were still on the job yesterday laying out plans for the year ahead.

Chief Education Officer Laurie King was in the thick of things at Alma Parris School, Speightstown, St Peter, as he met with teachers. The nature of that meeting remains unknown.

When quizzed about the first day of the planning week, King would say only that all schools were open and “will be ready to receive students on the tenth of September”.

Bridgetown/St.Michael doesn't have a traffic problem
..it has a school-traffic problem.

This is clearly evidenced every time the schools go on holiday
(and traffic eases by at least 60%)
and when schools resume the term
(and traffic increases by 65%!).
