The school is celebrating fifty years of existence, and as a result, former students of the institution agreed upon the gift of an E-Library. Two committees were formed to manage the project – a main local committee (established in March 2018) and a second committee in North America.
Fundraisers to propel the project began in November of last year, and yesterday the North American committee handed over the tablets and accompanying accessories to representatives of the school. The local committee was responsible for creating an E-Library space fitted with internet via fibre optic cable, network connections, and education content.
The E-Library was adopted as a pilot project by the Ministry of Education, the local and overseas committees, and the National Data Management Authority, and is scheduled for a September 17, 2019 opening.
At the ceremony, Coordinator of the institution Rear Admiral Gary Best introduced the main speaker and overseas representative, Jacqueline Squires, who noted that she was proud on behalf of their forty-member team who had travelled to Guyana for such an auspicious venture. She said it was ultimately important for her committee to give back to the school, which played an important role in moulding their futures. She said that by giving back, they were paving the way to heighten the educational experiences of future generations to follow at the institution.
Squires said that their time spent at the institution has not only moulded and propelled them to their present statuses, but has created and provided an experience that is second to none. In closing, she indicated that their time spent at the school developed brilliant memories that continued to sustain them even in their darkest moments. She charged the benefactors to use the library with responsibility and purpose, as they acknowledge and take advantage of the services of the E-Library.
