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.

Building work starts at the new John Gray Campus

Builders are now really busy on the second of the three new secondary campuses on Grand Cayman. The John Gray Campus has seen considerable work being done to the delight of staff and students alike as they start the new school year.

Construction has started on the area housing the new world class sports facility, commencing with the construction of a huge water cistern to be located under the hall. It really is a case of building downwards prior to the above ground works. However, everyone will soon seen walls beginning to emerge from the ground.

The Minister of Education; Hon. Alden McLaughlin is pictured above touring the works undertaken so far, accompanied by Chief Officer and Permanent Secretary; Mrs Angela Martins.

Work will start on the new Beulah Smith Campus soon, the third new facility, with the recent appointment of a contractor. (GL)
