“They Not Like Us”

The Princess Margaret School aims to prove today, tomorrow and the day after that just why we are the “Home of Champions”. It’s that time again where school rivalries meet at the Interschool Track and Field Athletics Championships and secondary schools islandwide are sending their best to do battle. With bouts of challenge in sprinting, long distance, relay, shot put and javelin, there is much ado about something going down. However, the reigning champs from Princess Margaret School are once again the team to beat and our athletes are primed and ready to defend and retain their previous glory. Come out and support our cubs as they move like lions on and off the track March 7th, 8th and 9th, 2025 at YASCO. We have a mission to complete and in the words of Pulitzer prize winner, rapper extraordinaire Kendrick Lamar, “they not like us”.

Express Yourself

Today, we continue our observance of National Literacy Day. This year the theme is Promoting responsible expression: Literacy for integrity, empathy and respect.

Do you remember what is Literacy?

Basically, it is how communicate and gain meaning.

Literacy is essential to our achieving success in school, obtaining a job, taking care of ourselves and making society better.

This year’s theme highlights the importance of improving society by being responsible with our expressions (oral, written etc.).

It reminds us that as literate individuals, our expressions should enhance, repair and advance our relationships and by extension our nation. 

This is crucial to remember because if we are not careful, our expressions can quickly crumble and damage any bond or connection.

Our expressions should be empathetic, respectful, honest and encouraging.


We should not only consider WHAT we say but HOW we say it and consequently, WHEN to say it.

To sum it up:

“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.”
― Kofi Anan

“It is beautiful to express love and even more beautiful to feel it.”
― Dejan Stojanovic
