A Comprehensive Safety Policy for Workers In A Government Primary School
BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL
The Public Primary School was established on January 25th 1956. It was constructed by Trinidad Leaseholds Limited (the precursor company to TEXACO, TRINTOC and PETROTRIN) on lands owned by the named companies and donated to the Gasparillo community. This institution was established to facilitate chronic overcrowding at Gasparillo Government Primary School.
In its fifty–six (56) year history, the institution has been recognized as one of the premiere primary schools within the Victoria Educational District having had numerous successes at all levels of student development namely academic, athletics, sports and other co-curricular activities. The Management team is led by a recently appointed Principal, an acting Vice Principal (who is also the H.O.D. of the Infant Department) and one (1) Head of Department (H.O.D.). There are only five (5) males and thirty- one (31) females on staff, while the age of the staff ranges from twenty (20) to fifty-nine (59) years.
The Public Primary School’s vision statement is:
“Public Primary School is committed to the growth and development of its clients to their fullest potential academically, morally, spiritually and socially in an environment that is safe and nurturing.”
The school has the following mission statement:
“At Public Primary School, we are dedicated to learning and to the continuous development of our clients. Together with our stakeholders, we will instil in our clients those values that are enshrined in our national watchwords, Discipline, Production and Tolerance. We will develop and implement programmes which will ensure that every child is well prepared and capable of managing in a technologically advancing global community, as well as demonstrating behaviours and values that would make them good, productive citizens.”
