Building a learning nation

The Cayman Islands are gaining recognition the world over for building world-class learning spaces which reflect both 21st-Century thinking and the islands’ rich and unique culture. Here you can share in the progress of the most innovative, exciting and highly publicised capital programme for education ever undertaken in the Caribbean. These are the reflections in real time of those who are making it happen and those whose lives will be touched; educators, parents, students, government staff, architects, planners, and providers of the services students will ultimately benefit from. The world is watching this one, so leave your comments, link to the site and get in touch if you want to know more.

Grand Opening for National Children's Festival of the Arts

The Grand Opening of the National Children's Festival of the Arts (NCFA) and the Art Exhibition took place this week at the historic Pedro's Castle. This is the first time the opening has been done in such a large scale way, and is one of a number of 'firsts' for this annual festival.

Attended by the Acting Governor, Minister of Education, elected MLA's and many other visitors, the evening was packed full of talent from students representing a wide number of schools. Students gave performances of all art forms, including the Swing Band from John Gray High School, dance groups, choirs, solos, and dialect choirs.

Many people commented on how tasteful the whole evening was and how well planned with every detail, including art work and performances reflecting the highest quality. Congratulations to all the organisers and participants of this ongoing festival. (GL)
