Our multi-skilled team creates an environment that facilitates a dynamic student experience that allows the student to apply the learning in the classroom to their school community, the external community, the island and to the world.

In our team meetings, I often find that I have been strategic and confident in the ideas and solutions that I bring to the table. I have to be continually thinking critically about the AISK Way, in order to contribute in a manner that ensures that the decisions made will have a positive impact on our school community.  This is how I can ensure that our students will continue to thrive in Jamaica and in a diverse world.      

As a lifelong international educator and leader and the newly appointed MS/HS Principal, I come to the AISK community with a deep belief in the power of community, of education, and in the potential and promise of young people. There is not a day that I am not grateful for the gift of working with them and for them.

I look forward in joyful anticipation to an amazing year ahead with all of you. My door is always open, please stop by.

At AISK, we not only aim to educate minds but also to nurture hearts, foster creativity, and instill a lifelong love for learning.

Every child who walks through our doors is not just a student, but a unique individual with dreams, passions, and unlimited potential waiting to be unlocked. As educators, it is our privilege and responsibility to guide, support, and inspire each and every one of them to reach for the stars.

As a member of the leadership team, I attempt to contribute towards increasing the motivation of both students and staff towards meeting our vision of ‘Our students shape the future’. As the Director of Technology, I view technology as the tools that we will use to ensure our students are prepared for the exciting changes and challenges that lie ahead. We endeavor to work towards producing an educational product that prepares our students for the future and distinguishes AISK from its competitors.

Leadership in a school is responsible for creating a climate hospitable to education and for establishing a school-wide vision for commitment to high standards and the success of students.

For AISK to move forward, the leadership team has to develop and understand an agreed-on purpose and a vision that focuses on all aspects of school life, and one that informs planning and development. 

The leadership team is made up of the leaders of our departments such as Student Support, Teaching and Learning, IT to name a few.  It is with this group of leaders that we ensure that our Mission of “our students shape the future,” is continually at the forefront of our discussions.

It is with these discussions that I am able to garner the relevant information to ensure that the plant has the learning and outdoor spaces, that we have hired the correct staff, and that our school activities and field trips enhance the learning of our students. This team advocates for our students to ensure that they receive the best education and experiences so that they can transfer this knowledge to our wider community, Jamaica and the world.

Participation in the administrative team creates an environment that nurtures and supports sharing ideas, expertise, experience, and unique perspectives from the team members that represent the various departments at AISK. This level of communication and collaboration benefits all students in our diverse student body to ensure they are thriving and reaching their full potential. I appreciate this approach to the administrative tasks because it ensures that the social-emotional wellness of staff and students, as well as attention to the educational needs of our diverse student body, is embedded in everything we do.

Every decision we make as a leadership team at AISK is driven by our vision and mission. We ask ourselves, “How are we meeting our mission and vision for our students through this initiative?” I am often reminded of how the very skills that we reinforce with our students are the skills that are required of me to employ every day. Thinking critically, mindfully and working collaboratively are key to the success of our educational program. We work with a team of highly qualified, compassionate administrators who are committed to the school’s mission and vision and promote our core values. This sense of community and purpose help us stay grounded and always looking forward to an even brighter future.

School’s are very busy environments and planning for the current academic year would have begun the previous year with the team delivering on the Strategic Plan broken down into annual goals. When the ship sails on the first day in August the team executes according to the plan, so how do new initiatives and projects get piloted, and buildings get planned and built? 

That’s where I come in! As project lead along with the support and expert guidance and input of this team, we get to dream big for our students.  AISK stays on the cutting edge of education using the latest research to bring on new and exciting programs that will enhance the learning experience of our students, and the teaching experience of our faculty. There’s never a dull moment at AISK.

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to AISK for the 2024-25 school year. I am looking forward to working with the administrative team to create an environment where all of
our students have the greatest opportunity for success. At AISK, our mission is to “shape the future” by nurturing not only the academic but also the physical, emotional, and social
development of our students. Athletics provides a unique opportunity to teach invaluable life skills such as teamwork, resilience, discipline, and leadership. These are the qualities that
empower our students to make a meaningful impact on their community and the world.
Our athletics program is designed to challenge students to push their limits, discover their
strengths, and develop a lifelong passion for sports and fitness. Whether it’s through competitive
sports teams, recreational activities, or fitness programs, we aim to offer diverse opportunities for
all students to participate and succeed.

I am incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work displayed by our coaches, staff, and
student-athletes. Their commitment to excellence and sportsmanship is what makes our program
truly exceptional. As we move forward, we will continue to strive for excellence, celebrate our
achievements, and learn from our challenges.

To our new families, coaches, and student-athletes joining us this year, welcome to the AISK
athletics family! We are excited to have you with us and look forward to your contributions and
successes. To our returning families, coaches, and student-athletes, thank you for your continued
support and dedication. Together, we will make this year one of growth, achievement, and
unforgettable experiences.
