Jamaica’s Promise – PEP Passes Bring Pride to St. Ann’s Bay Primary

146 students sat the 2023 Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examination and according to principal Cole preliminarily, roughly 80% of those students were placed in schools of their choice, which included Munro College, St. Hilda’s High, Knox College, York Castle High, Westwood High and Ferncourt High schools. Mr. Cole says teachers had to strategize to ensure that maximum potential is achieved by the students on what he describes as a difficult and challenging journey. Nevertheless, he says they are pleased with the students’ performance.
