Providenciales, 09 Feb 2016 – Reports are that it was tearful at the HJ Robinson High School Monday morning when the 350 students, faculty and staff of one of the country’s most iconic institutions gathered for the first time since a January 29th fire destroyed a new set of classrooms and just about all inside.
A fifth form student wrote a poem which speaks to the rapidly changing times in student and young life in the Capital.
Excerpt from ‘This is Your Appeal’ by Vanessa Fraser: “…what a shame, it was just yesterday that I knew their name, now it’s not the same, ‘cause guess what, they can’t even tame, so now they’re framed! Where’s our future generation, aren’t we all one nation? Where we come together as one, bond together with love but we rather be racist so we start contemplating about who does this and that then we judge and start hatin’!…”
Vanessa Fraser encouraged her heartbroken school mates to keep God first, to keep going despite and that success is inevitable if they take her advice.
The school’s new top story to the Administrative block along with student records were destroyed in that early morning fire two Fridays ago, which was heroically extinguished thanks to the airport’s fire crew.
