English Department
(English language, English literature)
English Language & Literatures
Students explore receptively and expressively three major literary modes, Drama, Poetry
and Prose Fiction, in order to become aware of the many functions and purposes of
language. In doing so, they discover that the four facts of language arts, namely,
listening, speaking, reading and writing, are closely linked together and are
interdependent.
Syllabus objectives are organized under understanding and expression in order to guide
curriculum development, to give meaning to a teaching program and to define an
assessment scheme that reinforces an English syllabus which has been conceived as an
integrated approach to language teaching and which enables students to appreciate the
holistic nature of the language learning.
SBA: Yes

Foreign Language Department
(French, Spanish)
French and Spanish
The Modern Languages Syllabus focuses on developing students’ ability to communicate
in two of the languages in use in the Caribbean Region. As students develop the
competence to listen, speak, read and write in French and Spanish and interpret aspects
of the culture in which the languages are embedded, they acquire the means to facilitate
deeper interaction with our Caribbean neighbours. The topics selected for the syllabus
reflect areas of interest to secondary school students. Language learning, therefore,
provides an opportunity for students to compare their own experiences with those of
their peers in Francophone and Hispanic Caribbean countries.
SBA: No

Information Technology Department
(IT, Technical Drawing)
Information Technology
This syllabus is designed to provide a coherent view of the significance in a
socio-economic context. Emphasis is placed on application of knowledge and the use of
the computer. This approach has been adopted in recognition of the impact that changes
in the availability of information can have on the educational process. The focus is on
getting students to develop skills for life in an increasingly technological world, rather
than on students absorbing a myriad of seemingly unrelated facts which may have only
short term relevance.
The syllabus aims to provide the kind of practical experience which includes an element
of discovery, and fosters self-confidence, together with the practical skills that will
prepare students to meet the region’s need for greatly increased productivity and cost
effective procedures.
SBA: Yes

Technical Drawing
The technical drawing course is an integral component of the Technical/Vocational
Education (TVET) program offered by the school. The syllabus is examined for
certification at the General Proficiency and candidate s have the option of using either
the traditional drawing method (drawing board and tee square) or Computer- aided
drafting method /applications to complete the objectives of the syllabus.
The syllabus is planned as an integration of knowledge and skills in Technical Drawing.
It covers the following areas; plane geometry, solid geometry, Computer Aided
Design and Drafting (CADD), Building and Engineering drawings.
To this end, the Caribbean Examinations Council recognises the need to provide a
programme of studies in Technical Drawing which will cater not only to the above stated
interest, but also to those students who will proceed to studies at Universities /tertiary
levels and/or seek entry level employment in related fields.
The Technical Drawing course as conceived, therefore, will be an essential companion to
the cognate CSEC Industrial Technology programme as well as an integral component of
the General Education curriculum.

Mathematics
The guiding principles of the Mathematics Syllabus directs that Mathematics taught in
Caribbean schools should be relevant to the existing and anticipated needs of Caribbean
society. It must be related to the abilities and interests of Caribbean students and
aligned with the philosophy of the educational system. These principles focus attention
on the use of Mathematics as a problem- solving tool, as well as on some of the
fundamental concepts which help to unify Mathematics as a body of knowledge. The
syllabus explains general and unifying concepts that facilitate the study of Mathematics
as a coherent subject rather than as a set of unrelated topics.

Caribbean History
The construction of this syllabus has been guided by a particular view of the nature of
history as a discipline and of the educational needs of students.
History as a discipline has three aspects- its content, its organizing principles and its
methods of enquiry. The substantive content of Caribbean History is the activities of the
peoples of the islands of the Bahamas to Trinidad as well as those of the peoples of
Belize and the Guiana’s, from the coming of the indigenous Americans to the present.
There is no attempt in this syllabus to promote one organizing principle or
interpretation of Caribbean History. While a thematic arrangement has been imposed
on the course of Caribbean History, the content within each theme has been stated in
such a way as to permit exploration of a variety of organizing principles. Nevertheless,
the selection of themes and their content has been informed by a desire to promote a
distinctly Caribbean perspective.

Social Studies
Social Studies contribute to the effective development of the learner by increasing
personal and social awareness, and by placing emphasis on values as well as on social
and interpersonal relationships. In addition, it introduces students to concepts from the
various social science disciplines and enables them to recognize the significance of these
experiences as they seek to understand more about themselves and the complex social
relationships of which they are a part. An interpretation of this kind makes the Social
Studies Programme not only relevant to the learners but also facilitates the smooth
transition of the student from secondary to tertiary education and into the wider society.
The continued development of the Caribbean region will depend on the individual's
understanding of his or her roles and responsibilities in families, groups, social
institutions, government, sustainable development, and the regional integration process
and global issues. These are critical to the individual’s personal development and the
social, political and economic well-being of his or her country and region.

CVQ - Graphic Design (Computer Aided design)
CVQ - Graphic Design is a subject focusing on the art of visual communication, using
digital methods of design, while introducing students to Industrial Standards.
Graphic designers produce art and layouts of wording for reproduction in print and

identity programmes, exhibitions and advertising. Graphic designers may work as
members of a design team in design studios or advertising agencies, or alone
undertaking consultancy or freelance work.
Graphic Design is NOT a CSEC examinable subject. CXC is responsible for
this subject; however successful students are awarded a Caribbean
Vocational Qualification (CVQ) Certificate.
CVQ- Caribbean Examination
The Caribbean Vocational Qualification or CVQ as it is commonly called is based on a
competency based approach to training, assessment and certification.
Candidates are expected to demonstrate competency in attaining occupational
standards developed by practitioners, industry experts and employers. These standards
when approved by the CARICOM allow for portability across the Caribbean region.
Currently CVQ’s are planned to reflect a qualification framework of five levels:
These are:
Level 1: (Directly Supervised / Entry level Worker)
Level 2: Supervised Skilled Worker
Level 3: Independent or Autonomous Skilled Worker
Level 4: Specialized or Supervisory Worker
Level 5: Managerial and/or Professional Worker
CVQ’s are awarded to those candidates/workers who would have met the standards in
all of the prescribed units (Industry based standards) of study. Statements are issued in
cases where candidates did not complete all the requirements for the award of the CVQ.
Schools that are suitably equipped currently offer Levels 1 and 2.
Candidates found competent in all of the units specified in the qualification structure
will gain a full CVQ Award. This award is based on evidence provided by both the school
and External Verifier. The award of the CVQ certificate will be done by the Caribbean
Examination Council (CXC).
