Being an alumnus of the Alva Primary School in Jamaica West Indies, my interest has always been peaked about the continued progress of the school itself and the diversity of programs offered. Alva infant and primary schools, approximately 100 years old, have continued over the years to produce great students and with a discipline that aligns itself to a religious faith, the practice of morality and great code of ethics are always enforced and maintained throughout the years. It's also one of the feeder schools to renowned high schools like York Castle and St Hildas Diocean in Brown's Town St Ann, Dinthill in Linstead St Catherine and Holmwood in Manchester, just to name a few.
In order to see a continuation of the progress enjoyed over the almost century old school, providing quality education, there is no doubt that, although being a public school supported by Government, addition support are sometimes, more often than never, needed to maintain a quality that will continue to push our children to the next level. I also want to state that support are in different forms and the thought of monetary support should not be seen as the only. Support, giving back, finds virtue in any facet of life that gives light to opportunities, ease of application of ones abilities through introduction to success stories, or simply just talks and visits from so called role models.
Hello Ray,
ReplyDeleteI've been searching the web for info on the school and church in Alva. My grandmother was from there and my great grandfather is rumoured to have contributed to that area and the school/church. The family name there is/was 'Walsh'. My husband and I visit Jamaica annually and are looking to contribute to the school and children there. I'd like to start with raising some funds, but would very much appreciate some photos to help stimulate this. Would you have any of the school and/or church that I could use? There is nothing other than the not-so-good one i took 3 years ago.
Regards
