THE current arrangement which sees the students of Queen’s College utilising the building of the Richard Ishmael Secondary School on Woolford Avenue on a shift system as a result of a flea infestation will be extended. This is according to a press release issued by the Ministry of Education.
“The Ministry of Education wishes to advise the teachers, students, parents and other education stakeholders that, based on the advice received from both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture, the reoccupation of Queen’s College has been further postponed to facilitate further treatment to the building and the compound,” the release stated.
This arrangement began on Tuesday, November 27, when students and teachers of Richard Ishmael Secondary are attending school from 07:30h to 12:15h, and the students and teachers of Queen’s College will then use the Richard Ishmael Secondary from 12:30h to 16:30h.
This shift system was initially scheduled to last until Friday, November 30, and this arrangement was made in an effort to reduce the loss of school hours.

The Ministry stated in the release that staffers will continue to ensure that the inconvenience to the affected QC students and Richard Ishmael Secondary is minimised.
