Wolmer’s Girls’ School is the recipient of 40 ergonomic chairs for its computer lab, generously provided by CIBC Caribbean Jamaica. 

The chairs, designed with suitable lumbar support, ensure that students can sit comfortably for extended periods while practising and honing their skills in EDPEM and Information Technology.

Principal Coleen Montaque expressed immense gratitude for the sponsorship, noting the significant positive impact it will have on the students’ academic experience.

“We are elated to receive this generous donation. We asked for some chairs and received all that we needed for our lab. This means we can now accommodate an entire year group for tests and examinations, which is a tremendous help for our students preparing for their CXC and CAPE studies,” said Montaque.

Nigel Holness, managing director of CIBC Caribbean Jamaica, emphasized the bank’s commitment to youth development and education.

“At CIBC we are deeply invested in the development of youth and their education. We believe that providing the right resources and support can make a significant difference in the academic journey of students. We are proud to contribute to Wolmer’s Girls’ School and help create a conducive learning environment for these bright young minds.”
