Hydel Cumberland boon on the way

Hydel Cumberland High School’s track and field programme is reportedly set to receive a major financial boost after the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information approved a special grant of $1.75 million for the 2026-27 academic year.

TVJ Sports has been reliably informed that of the allocation, $750,000 will be disbursed immediately, with the remaining $1 million scheduled to be paid in December.

The funding is expected to support key programme activities, including the engagement of three specialist coaches at a total cost of $1.2 million for the period September 1, 2026, to April 30, 2027. Cory Bennett is also set to continue providing technical leadership.
