Unveiling this year’s theme for College Month - ‘Community, Connection, Collaboration’ – was Minister of Education, Hon Rachel Taylor, who joined the leadership team at the college on Wednesday, March 1.

Commenting on the host of activities outlined, Hon Taylor said: “It is our government’s mandate to build the human capacity of our people.
