 The Sa'afah Lewis Community College recently presented the Minister for Education with a blueprint of its successes as the institution curves a space for itself locally, regionally and internationally. Hermadi Mark reports. The Minister for Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development Honourable Dr. Gail Rigabet recently visited the Sa'afah Lewis Community College. She was updated on the current developments, successes and plans of the campus. The Minister visited the Derrick Walcott Library, a new instalment at the college and the Schools E-Learning Academy. Dr. Keith Nurse is the principal of the Sa'afah Lewis Community College. We also hope to share with the Minister upcoming developments to establish an innovation hub here at the college which would house four sub-labs. The first lab that we are establishing is an environmental sciences lab. We will be doing testing of everything from water quality and air quality to soil and other environmental areas. The second lab is a food sciences lab or food tech lab which will allow for both agro-processed facilities as well as again testing certification in the area of food processing as well as food development. The other upcoming projects shared with the Minister include a media technology laboratory focused on application development and robotics. Additionally, Sa'afah Lewis Community College hopes to establish a virtual reality laboratory to aid in teaching subjects that traditionally require hands-on training. Dr. Nurse also shared with the Minister plans to set up a café in the centre of the college courtyard with the goal of making the campus more hospitable. The goal there is to make the centre of the campus a more hospitable place for students and staff as well as the institutions that surround us. We are talking about Kafa, Caribbean Regional Public Health Agency which is situated on our campus but we also have neighbours like HTS, Helen Television Systems which is right across the road from us. The OECS Secretariat which is adjacent to us as well as the UU Open Campus and so the goal is to create a magnet where we invite both our neighbours as well as our staff and students and the general public to come up to the campus and experience our culinary delights. The principal explained another goal of the project is to host the farmers market on weekends. This will allow the college to sell the produce from its farm. Concessionaires ranging from crafters to food producers and agro-processors will be invited to sell local products. Honourable Dr. Rigabet applauded the college on the revamping of its associate degree programmes, the advancements made in digital education and the modular approach currently used in 60% of the college's classes and the introduction of four new bachelor degree programmes.
