Port Authority of Jamaica Navigates The Next Generation

Charting a course toward future careers, 12 sixth-form students from Excelsior High, Wolmer’s Boys’, and The Convent of Mercy (Alpha) Academy and their teachers spent Wednesday, November 11, discovering the vast possibilities of the maritime world at Port Royal’s Historic Naval Dockyard for day three of the Jamaica Observer’s Applaud It! series, hosted by The Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ).

The students also enjoyed a practical fine dining etiquette masterclass featuring a multi-course menu prepared by award-winning Chef Jacqui Tyson.
