Dance To Grace

Yesterday was one of our busiest days here on the island! We started the day off at TCI Middle School and The British West Indies Collegiate, with small lectures on dance history and demonstrations in ballet, modern, tap and contemporary. The day continued with classes in creative movement, ballet, jazz and hip hop!

The TCI purpose, to transition children from primary school into high school. The facility offers itself to children between 7th and 9th Grade.

A Special thank you, for allowing us to share our passion with you!

The staff stopped for a quick lunch...

Moving right along to The British West Indies Collegiate

The following is expected of all students:

Strict honesty and truthfulness. In the classroom, this rules out cheating, copying another student’s work, and all manner of false pretences. In the school at large, it means respect for the possessions of others, and a readiness to own up and accept the blame when you know it to be yours.
Self-control. This is the foundation of civilised behaviour, and means that you must learn not only to govern your own temper, but also to make a real effort to understand the other person’s viewpoint.
Readiness to take responsibility. Throughout your school life, opportunities will occur for you to take on duties for the benefit of your classmates, or in the school at large. You should accept these responsibilities with dignity and always do your best.
Courtesy and self-respect. Good manners and a pride in neat and clean appearance are vital. The cultivation of these qualities is important not only in individual character development, but in the image presented by the school as a whole. The Collegiate has earned a highly-valued reputation in the community, and expects its students to maintain good standards of appearance and conduct both inside and outside the school campus. Courtesy is also reflected in your use of language, which must always be appropriate and respectful, free from unwelcome remarks, discourteous or offensive words, or vulgarities.
Concern for others. Be helpful to one another both within the school and the community outside. Show concern and be ready to give assistance where it is needed to the best of your abilities.
Whole school responsibility. The school operates as a community. We all have an interest in looking after each other and the environment we share. Therefore, for the good of the whole school community, it is your responsibility to inform someone in authority if something happens that you know to be wrong, whether it directly affects you or not.
