Kingston, Jamaica— A quiet but deliberate transformation is unfolding at St Andrew Preparatory School, where Principal Dr Carol Blanchard’s push for holistic development is reshaping not only the school’s academic culture, but also its sporting ambitions, character-building programmes and overall student experience.

That transformation received another significant boost recently when Express Canteen Services donated $500,000 towards the school’s track and field programme ahead of this year’s Prep Champs campaign.

While the financial contribution is expected to strengthen the school’s preparations for the championships, the donation also reflects growing recognition of the progress being made at the institution since Dr Blanchard assumed leadership in July 2023.
