Friday is Students' Day
The first day of the ... Expo 2005 is
Students' Day, with special provisions being made for high school
students in the west to visit the expo.
ON FRIDAY, the Montego Bay Cruise Ship Terminal will be
filled with, if not exactly the pitter patter of tiny feet, then
the sprightly tread of the young.

The first day of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry's
Expo 2005 is Students' Day, with special provisions being made for
high school students in the west to visit the expo. The intention
is to give a wider vision of what not only their education but also
their country and region are about, and hopefully plant a seed of
ideas and intentions that will germinate and grow into enterprise.
Mary Chambers of the Expo 2005 organising committee said "we
will be bringing in students from schools in western Jamaica to
give them a taste of the expo". As such, letters of invitation
have been sent to high schools in St. James, Trelawny and Hanover,
opening the expo to students from grades 10 and 11.
It is an invitation in the true sense of the word, as not only
will the students be provided with transportation, through the MoBay
Metro service, but the entry fee will also be waived. There is a
requirement, though, as the free entry to the expo goes only for
students in uniform. It also extends to the teachers who accompany
them.
If the students choose to go 'casual' in their dressing, they will
have to pay $50.
