Clarendon College wins Gleaner's Go-Local competition
Monica Pryce and Jaevion Nelson of Clarendon College won
themselves an all expenses paid 10-day trip to London, England
after their school was declared overall winner in The Gleaner's
Go-Local Jamaica 'Show Your Community to the World' Competition.
The elated team members, who hail from the hills of Chapelton,
Clarendon, were yesterday presented with the prize by Camille
Facey, senior vice-president of legal, regulatory and public
policy at Cable and Wireless Jamaica Ltd., the sponsor of
the prize. The presentation was made at the North Street,
downtown Kingston offices of The Gleaner Company.
The prize trip includes airfare, hotel accommodation, meal
allowances, spending money and a one-week scholarship at
the Cable and Wireless Childnet Academy in London for two
representatives from the Clarendon College website team.
The team from Clarendon was selected after six months of
intense competition among 30 schools which entered the competition
from across the island. The competition required schools
to submit interesting articles and material about their
school and community on the Go-Local Jamaica website.
"I feel really elated to know that we have won the
competition and that I have been chosen to go to London,
England to represent my school and to be an ambassador for
Jamaica also," Jaevion Nelson remarked.
Ms. Facey in congratulating the team, also commended The
Gleaner Company for launching the competition. In fact,
she said this was tantamount to the efforts being made by
Cable and Wireless in the United Kingdom to promote and
encourage students from around the world to develop top
quality websites through its Childnet Academy.
Also present at the function were: Kamal Powell and Simone
Givans, members of the Clarendon College team; Marlene Davis,
manager of The Gleaner Online Ltd; Hope McMillan, project
manager of Go-Local Jamaica and Carmen Wade-Barrett, content
editor of Go-Jamaica and Alveta Adderly-Knight, legal officer
at Cable and Wireless
