#Providenciales, May 17, 2019 – Turks and Caicos – The resort was not completely out of its comfort zone, after all, the luxury property in Northwest Point, Providenciales is award winning for its service… and on Wednesday, Amanyara Resort undoubtedly served the students of Clement Howell High school well.
A fabulous renovation was unveiled,
leaving school officials, students, parents and Ministry of Education Officials
blown away by the attention to detail and abundant generosity of the Amanyara
Resort. The thoughtfulness of the resort and its manager were given
iconic status at the school.
“For a long time the lab was handicapped… we cannot thank Amanyara, led by Mr. Garrett Donovan more for this initiative and wonderful donations. For that reason, we have named the lab, the Garrett Donovan Electricity Laboratory,” said Mrs. Kadean Cunningham, CHHS Principal.
Outdated equipment is now replaced with
the finest tools in a modern, safe and comfortable setting which expanded upon
seating, provided desks and created the ideal storage area for the Electricity
Lab.
“With this donation, our teachers
can afford our students with hands on, practicals so that the students can see
first hand some of the activities carried out in Electricity. Clement
Howell High is the only school that offers Electrical and Electronic Technology
as a CSEC course in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
On hand for the handover on Wednesday morning were
the Hon. Karen Malcolm, the Minister of Education; Mr. Wesley Clerveaux,
Permanent Sectary of Education and Mr. Edgar Howell, Director of Education.
Principal Cunningham said, “Amanyara decided two
years ago to partner with Clement Howell on upgrading and strengthening its
Industrial Arts Workshop. In 2017, spearheaded by then General
Manager, Marco Franck, they refurbished and outfitted the Industrial Arts
Workshop with state of the art and 21st century tools,
machines, equipment and technological devices.”
Mrs. Cunningham said the work two years ago by
Amanyara helped Clement Howell High to be deemed compliant; having the
requisite standard for CXC Caribbean Vocational Qualification or CVQ.
At that time, the resort decided they would take on
a biennial project at the school and the proceeds which funded the ‘reno’ of
the Electricity Lab at Clement Howell High, came from Amanyara guests’
donations during the Christmas holidays.
“The school provided a wish-list to fully outfit
and refurbish the lab. Today, this has come to fruition,” said the
overjoyed principal on Wednesday at the handover.
Add to the momentous occasion, there was an
announcement that CHHS students are to gain on the job experience at the
Amanyara Resort thanks to an internship which will run for six weeks, this
Summer.
“Amanyara is collaborating with us in the areas of
maintenance, engineering, housekeeping, front office and food and beverage.”
The Amanyara Resort is calling the initiative of
the new Electricity Laboratory ‘a donation as a commitment to our community.’
