Seventh Day Adventist School dedicated!
The dedication marked a historic occasion for the school which started in Carrot Bay in 1954 and had a stint in Road Town before making its way to Sea Cows Bay in what seems to be the final stop.
The school building houses both the primary and secondary divisions. Enrolment is over two hundred.
According to principal of the school Wade Tobin, the final phase of the building started in 2005 and the dedication also marks its completion.
The BVI Seventh-day Adventist School, originally known as the Carrot Bay Seventh-day Adventist school, commenced its operation in the spring of 1954 under the leadership of Pastor Lionel David Braithwaite. With an enrolment of over fifty students, the Carrot Bay Seventh-day Adventist School started as a complete school, operating from Infant One through Standard Seven.
The original school was housed in the Carrot Bay Seventh-day Adventist Church Lamb Shelter from 1954 through 1973. In 1973, it was relocated to a newly erected school building, known as the Old School or the Carrot Bay Youth Centre. In September, 1981, the school was moved again to the lower level of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Road Town.
In June 1996, the church was given permission to build the British Virgin Islands Seventh-day Adventist School. In September, 2005, the Secondary Division began with two forms. Form One had an enrolment of nine students and Form Two, six students. By September, 2010, the BVI SDA School building housed both the Primary and Secondary Divisions with a combined population of 311 inclusive of 17 teachers and 294 students. This 25-room institution was being managed by the first British Virgin Islander Principal, Mr. Wade Tobin.
Meanwhile, Mr. Tobin told Virgin Islands News Online that the school is looking forward to its prayer week this week when persons within the community would also be invited to speak to the students.
On the 23 of February, the school would be having its Day of Sports.
