BWIC Student Sponsorship Programme

A number of the students who graduated in 2004 and in previous years - including those who have since progressed to higher education institutions around the world - were recipients of scholarships provided by either businesses, charitable foundations or  generous individuals.  There exist many children in the Turks and Caicos Islands who have the ability but not the financial means to take advantage of the exceptional quality of education provided by the British West Indies Collegiate.  We urge any individual or company with an interest in supporting a child's education through the Collegiate, to contact the Principal, Mrs Wigglesworth, who will be delighted to discuss further the Student Sponsorship Programme.

 


Collegiate Students in NYC
Katrina O'Connor
(Head of English)

On Thursday, February 12, 2004, six of the Collegiate's Sixth Form students made their way to New York with two teachers, Mr & Mrs O'Connor (Art and English respectively), on a much-anticipated trip in support of their Advanced Level studies in Art & Design and English Literature.  This five-day excursion presented the students with the opportunity to visit world-renowned art galleries such as The Whitney Museum of American Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which featured a fantastic exhibition of the work of artist Chuck Close, and allowed students to see first-hand the work of great artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh and Matisse.  Additionally, students took in the American Museum of Natural History, and a number of performances, including a modern production entitled Golda’s Balcony, Broadway’s Little Shop of Horrors and The Blue Man Group’s combination of music, theatre, art and visual satire.  Time was even found to experience ice-skating in Central Park.  The trip was a huge success, with all who attended finding great inspiration for their studies, and a solidification and continuation of the knowledge attained in classes at the Collegiate.  In the words of one of the attending students, the journey to New York allowed him to “see Art in a whole new way.”  See left and down for Photos

In recognition of her hard work and commitment in attaining excellent IGCSE examination results in June 2003, the Collegiate's Holly Hamilton has been recognised  as the country's highest achieving TCI national. Holly, currently in the Sixth Form at the Collegiate, will, together with second placed Romell Philips and third placed Danielle Handfield (also attending the Collegiate's Sixth Form), receive a full government scholarship to pursue her higher education at an institution of her choice anywhere in the world.

Incomplete (Down) sections should be up and running soon.  However, it may be decided that some of these sections are either no longer needed or can be integrated with others, in which case their buttons will be removed.

We hope to continue to add to this site and, where possible, to include more student related work, contributions and interactivity.  However, we hope that the current site includes enough detail to sufficiently inform you about the school, and to initially satisfy your purpose for visiting.

Site designer and webmaster, David Edwards, will be happy to receive any suggestions, observations or site related queries.
