Adventures in Citizenship

Posted on Apr 27, 2017
 
Since 2006, the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman has organized an essay contest for high school students focused on a specific theme which challenges students to think and write a winning essay. This year students from St. Ignatius Catholic High School, Grace Christian Academy, Layman E. Scott and Clifton Hunter participated. The top 6 essays were selected and winning students will be treated to a 2 day tour on April 27 and April 28 of several landmark locations to offer them additional knowledge of how they operate in Cayman society. Touring included (but not limited to):
  • Court House
  • National Gallery
  • National Archives
  • Legislative Assembly
  • VIP Lunch with Her Excellency The Governor, Helen Kilpatrick
  • Cabinet Secretary's office within the Government Administrative Building
All finalists were awarded gifts at the Rotary meeting on April 27.
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This year's theme was "How can we better support the youth of my Cayman" and the winning essay, from Grace Christian Academy, was read to Rotarians and guests at the Rotary Lunch Meeting on Thursday, April 27.
 
All essays will be made available for Rotarians to read and get ideas from.
