IGNATIUS CATHOLIC SCHOOL – HIGH SCHOOL __________________________________________________________________________________________ Profile 2020-2021 St. Ignatius Catholic School – High School, is a Catholic, co-educational, independent day school established in 1994 on the Island of Grand Cayman, the largest of the Cayman Islands (population c.60,000) in the western Caribbean. Banking and tourism are at the heart of the vibrant economy and Caymanians enjoy the highest income per capita in the region. As a British Overseas Territory, English is spoken and there are strong American and Canadian influences. St. Ignatius Catholic School is viewed as one of the leading non- selective schools in the British Caribbean. The Cayman Islands Education Standards & Assessment Unit (ESAU) described it as “a good school” in 2007. There are 330 students of 22 nationalities in Grades 7-13, 87 of whom have graduated from a high school programme and are following advanced courses in Years 12 and 13. The 33 highly qualified teachers provide the school with a student teacher ratio of 10:1. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Mission Statement Our mission is to nurture the spiritual, academic, social and personal development of every student in our care in a supportive Catholic atmosphere which welcomes and embraces all denominations. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Academic Programme The school offers a British based curriculum with the addition of the PSAT and the SAT 1 which are available to all senior students. Those in Years 7-9 follow a broad foundation programme comprising English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Religious Education, Science, Computer Science, History, Geography, Spanish, French, Art, Music, Drama, Physical Education and Lifeskills.

  • Truman Bodden Law School Graduation
    Graduation address: Mitchell Davies Hon Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Colleagues of the Cayman Judiciary, Hon Deputy Governor, Hon Members of Cabinet, Hon Attorney-General, Graduands, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg your further attention on behalf of the Legal Advisory Council which I chair and the Hon Attorney General, to offer this tribute. It gives me great pleasure to be able to reflect, for a few minutes, on a not insignificant anniversary that occurs this month. For it was 30 years ago that the Director of Truman Bodden Law School, Mitchell Davies, first arrived in Cayman. Mitchell (or Mitch as we affectionately call him) arrived as one of the few lecturers at what was then known as the Cayman Islands Law School under its first Director of Legal Studies, Peter Rowe. The school was then housed in very modest quarters on the upper floor of the Court Building. Peter Rowe returned to the UK shortly after Mitchell arrived (although he assures me there was no connection). The Law School did not have a large number of students or staff then but even fewer than today, and lecturers were expected, as now, to cover a fairly broad range of subjects. Indeed, all TBLS students are still able to benefit from Mitch in the classroom as he still contributes to the teaching of Criminal Law in the first year of the LLB, as well as his more specialist Conflicts of Laws modules on both the LLB and LLM. As most of us will recall and others might imagine, Cayman was a different place 30 years ago.

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2517-679X.htm Caribbean Public-Private Partnerships in PPPs in transport: a critical assessment transport of the Caribbean Laura Panades-Estruch 61 Truman Bodden Law School, George Town, Cayman Islands Received 8 February 2021 Revised 23 February 2021 Abstract Accepted 2 March 2021 Purpose – This article critically analyses the extent to which selected Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) transportation projects in the Caribbean subregion embrace good practices and how they benefit the public sector. Design/methodology/approach – The article begins with the general rationale of PPPs, leading to a discussion on the specific challenges of the Caribbean subregion and an assessment of certain critical projects. The sample cases include the L F Wade International Airport in Bermuda, the cruise berthing and cargo port redevelopment project in the Cayman Islands, and the Sanger International Airport in Jamaica. There are five aspects to the critical assessment: (a) an evaluation of the type of PPP arrangement used; (b) the legal/policy framework; (c) financial implications; (d) accountability; and (e) miscellaneous data. Desk-based research is conducted as supported by both international and local sources to convey a uniquely local perspective in this under-researched area of scholarship. Findings – PPP frameworks in the Caribbean are improving quickly but remain a work in progress. Jamaica leads the region. Bermuda trails behind. Problems of legal compliance with frameworks and limited market engagement persist, leading to risk management problems. Originality/value – This article fills a literature gap on critical analysis of individual Caribbean PPP transportation projects.

    IJCJ&SD 9(4) 2020 ISSN 2202-8005 Fractured Lives, Dissenting Voices, Recovering ‘Truth’: Frontiers of Research and Resistance Phil Scraton1 Queen’s University Belfast, United Kingdom Abstract Emerging from critical conferences in the early 1970s involving academic researchers, community-based workers and activists, critical social research challenged the role and legitimacy of mainstream social sciences in their support of social orders fractured by class, ‘race’, sectarianism, gender, sexuality and age. This article opens with a brief reflection on the emergence and consolidation of critical social theory as the foundation and context for research that challenges state-institutionalised power and authority. It draws on long-term, in-depth primary research into the operational policies and practices of policing and incarceration, exploring the profound challenges involved in bearing witness to the ‘pain of others’. Recounting personal testimonies ‘from below’, revealing institutionalised deceit and pursuing ‘truth recovery’, it argues that dissenting voices are the foundation of hope, resistance and transformation. Keywords State power; legitimacy; regimes of truth; structural inequality; critical social research; incarceration; Ireland; Hillsborough.
