    Stop being biased! How long did district 6 ask for a play ground? I see you. Remember, we the people are your employer and all your childish ways will be remembers next election. You may not be so lucky next time around.

      As the Ministry responsible for recreation, she is punishing us with her childish ways.

      When people just want people to look bad. Both primary schools in district 6 (JSPS and AMPS) has newly installed playgrounds. Are you blind or plain old Stu&$@? You should call your representative because he was most present for the handover .

    For children between the ages of five and ten, I would have thought that creative play would be the objective.

    The playground equipment appears more suited for pre-school, rather than primary school children.

    We cannot allow principals and people who do not know out history to come in any change what our elders have done for us. Teacher Inez Brathwaite, Teacher Adel Frett, Teacher Sybil Hodge have done so much to move our school in the direction that others do not have to reinvent the wheel. Our uniform is outstanding. I wonder if other principals would go to Schools in other districts/villages and change the history planted. If it is not broken do not fix it.
