Education Trust Fund Contribution Day. March 27th.
This important fund, sponsored by the Dominica Teachers Association, plays a vital role in supporting underprivileged children as they transition into high school. Many families struggle to afford essential school supplies such as textbooks, uniforms, stationery, and other learning materials. By providing financial assistance, this fund ensures that every child—regardless of economic challenges—has the opportunity to begin high school fully equipped and prepared for academic success. It reflects a deep commitment to educational equality and the belief that every student deserves a fair start.
To support this meaningful initiative, students are asked to contribute a small donation of $1 on March 22nd. While the amount may seem modest, the combined effort of the entire school community creates a powerful impact. Each contribution helps lift the financial burden on families in need and allows the Dominica Teachers Association to extend support to as many students as possible. This collaborative effort also teaches students empathy, generosity, and the importance of giving back to their community.
By participating, students are not only helping their peers but also reinforcing the values of compassion and unity. Together, these contributions make a real difference and ensure that more children can pursue their education with confidence and dignity.
Parents, students and community members are invited to attend this meeting, which discusses educational issues at the high school and its middle and elementary schools. Schools in the Kerrington cluster are: Aldiger, Caramba, Chesterfield, Cutterey, Fraiser, Johnson, Antonio, Lorney Winston, Ramos, and Westford secondary schools; Monterey and Tilt middle schools; and Kearrrinfton High. All schools and district offices are closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Year-round schools resume school. Open to the public.
The Clairemont High School junior received the honor from the youth division of the international animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

The multi-group recital included jolly renditions from the Lower School and Middle School choirs, the Gong Gang, Marimbas, Ukestra, and the Jazz Couriers. Our wonderful Lower School students were recently visited by three charity representatives after they raised over £1,500 for charitable causes. As part of their annual DUCK week (Developing, Understanding, Caring and Kindness), each year group decided on a different fundraising method, organising activities from discos and games, to face painting and volunteering.
