ASJA PRIMARY SCHOOL CELEBRATES 60 YEARS



GROW BOX PROJECT IN RIO CLARO ASJA

Home Gardening Assistance Starts in School

The Ministry of Food Production, Land and Marine Affairs seeks to reintroduce the concept of home gardening to communities throughout Trinidad. One of the initiatives developed to achieve this objective is the Grow Box Project. This project seeks to establish home gardens in urban areas where land is scarce. It encourages families to produce safe, healthy, fresh food in their own backyards. The Ministry also provides information and training for persons interested in home gardening.

 

Principals impact their students’ outcomes, particularly at the most challenging schools.









 

When looking at factors within a school it is estimated that principals are second only to teachers in their impact on student achievement (Seashore-Louis, et al. 2010). A highly effective principal can increase his or her students’ scores up to 10 percentile points on standardized tests in just one year (Waters, Marzano and McNulty 2003). Principals can also affect other student outcomes including reducing student absences and suspensions, and improving graduation rates. Principals in low-achieving or high poverty, minority schools tend to have a greater impact on student outcomes than principals at less challenging schools (Leithwood, et al. 2004, Seashore-Louis, et al. 2010). Unfortunately, principals typically transfer to less challenging schools as they gain experience (Beteille, Kalogrides and Loeb 2011)

Our students, teachers, support staff and parents work hard in a collaborative effort to reach the goal of helping every student achieve their best in a fun dynamic learning atmosphere.  RIO CLARO ASJA  has such incredible energy emanating from each community member that it has become synergetic; that is magical!  I have so much respect and gratitude for the committed individuals that work tirelessly every day at the Rio Claro ASJA Primary School, we the very best teachers, support staff and parents and as a result our students profit getting our very best.

It is so cool to be apart of this each day. We are off to an amazing new school year. Thank you for being part of our magic!

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

With schools facing increased pressure to improve teaching and learning, the duties and responsibilities of principals expanded further to include the responsibility for leading school reform that would raise student achievement. Success in leading reforms to increase student achievement often hinged upon a principal's ability to create a shared vision within the school community and success in implementing new organizational structures that engage teachers in shared decision-making. Principals have discovered that engaging the entire school staff in making decisions results in more commitment to school reform initiatives.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE



ASJA Primary School 2013 Improvement PROJECTS

The first three ASJA schools were opened in January 1953 in Charlieville, Carapichaima and Rio Claro. In 1954, the Barrackpore ASJA School was built. These were followed by schools in Princes Town (1955), San Fernando (1956), and Point Fortin (1959). These schools were initially simple structure built by private funds raised by the local community. (Tiab Rahaman, personal interview, 2007). With subsequent government assistance, the initial structures were subsequently replaced by the more elaborate structures that exist today.
