About Our School

PLEDGE

I stand as the beam of light;

I promise to act against indignation;

And look towards the future with tolerance and sight;

Through academics and sport I will be the greatest in my fight;

In the darkest place I am sure my light will always shine.

I promise to help uphold your excellence;

And to mold Jamaica’s children to become productive members of society;

I pledge to remain flexible in a changing society with pride and dignity;

I will always stand for equality failing never to hold high my school motto;

A Sound Mind In A Sound Body.

THE COLLEGE SONG

KEEP THE EXCELLENCE OF LEARNING IN YOUR MIND

By: Andrew Gayle (Past Student)

We grow from strength to strength

And fill our hearts with pride

It’s good the time we’ve spent

We’re feeling good inside

And now you’re here with me so

So keep this song with you

Do your best and leave the rest

For the good Lord to see you through

Chorus

Keep the Excellence of learning

In your mind

And let the light of G.C. Foster

Ever shine (rept)

We grow to high success

We really persevere

And now we are the best

Our kind is really rare

But now you‘re here with me

So keep this song with you

Do your best and leave the rest

For the good Lord to see you through

Chorus

Never stop until you’ve reached the top

Never say you can’t or you cannot

There are times when things are really rough

Never say O Lord I’ve had enough

Cause when you start believing

You’ll never stop achieving

Chorus

BACKGROUND

The library was established at the inception of the G. C. Foster College of Physical Education and Sport in 1980.

The collection is special, because it supports a curriculum with an emphasis on Sports and Physical Education. It holds a modest collection of approximately 11,000 books, periodical titles, a newspaper clippings collection and audio-visual service.

The year 1995 was a significant year for the library. It heralded extensive growth and physical development. Floor space was increased from 1200 square feet to approximately 32,00 square feet. Subsequently the seating capacity has increased from 20 to 50 persons. Library personnel increased from two to seven persons and opening hours were extended to accommodate a larger student population. The new opening hours are:

During the school term

Mondays – Thursdays: 8:30am – 7:00pm
