Students at the St. Hugh’s High School enjoy learning in their newly refurbished science labs. 16 Realising that the number of science-oriented students moving on from St. Hugh’s High School has been noticeably decreasing, the Past Student Association decided to approach the Digicel Foundation to try to change that trend. The science programme at the school had continually been held back by infrastructure problems which included outdated equipment, poor usage of space, overcrowding and structural problems. This environment was not encouraging to the students and that is the problem that the Foundation sought to alleviate. The Foundation contributed US$114,000 to the school for the completion of the first floor level of the Science Block. This means that the girls of St. Hugh’s High School will have access to two refurbished Biology Labs; one Multipurpose Lab that can accommodate up to 60 students; and one prep room. This project represents the chance for a paradigm shift in the way students view science.With the state-of-theart equipment that will be at their fingertips, the young ladies of St. Hugh’s are poised to make a real difference in Jamaica.
