The students of the Trinity Academy have embarked on a community service
project beach cleanup initial themed “10 of 365 – I can’t do everything
but I can do something”.
So far, the students have successfully concluded four beach clean-ups at the
Ffryes Beach, Morris Bay, York’s Beach and Darkwood Beach.
This initiative forms part of the school’s curriculum, which enable students
to balance academics with civic pride.
Teacher of the newly opened secondary school which is located on Christian
Valley Rd, Adeola Matthew said the program will continue throughout the school
year.
“The students are quite enthusiastic and we do hope other schools will come
on board and assist in making our beaches attractive for locals and our
visitors,” said Ms. Matthew “after all, the beach is only the beginning to what
our beautiful island has to offer. So why not start there?”
Meanwhile, the Chief Environment Officer Diann Black-Layne has commended the
efforts of Trinity Academy.
She urged other schools to participate in such gesture.
“It is a great initiative and we hope that the public will support them by
disposing of litter properly.”
