Wolmer’s Girls’ School in Kingston was recently gifted with 40 ergonomic chairs for its computer lab, by CIBC Caribbean Jamaica.

The chairs, designed with suitable lumbar support, ensure that students can sit comfortably for extended periods while practising and honing their skills in Electronic Document Preparation and Management (EDPM) and Information Technology studies.

Principal Coleen Montaque expressed gratitude for the sponsorship, noting the significant positive impact it will have on the students’ academic experience. “We are elated to receive this generous donation. We asked for some chairs and received all that we needed for our lab. This means we can now accommodate an entire year group for tests and examinations, which is a tremendous help for our students preparing for their CXC and CAPE studies,” said Montaque.

Nigel Holness, managing director of CIBC Caribbean Jamaica, emphasised the bank’s commitment to youth development and education. “At CIBC we are deeply invested in the development of youth and their education. We believe that providing the right resources and support can make a significant difference in the academic journey of students. We are proud to contribute to Wolmer’s Girls’ School and help create a conducive learning environment for these bright young minds.”

The addition of the chairs aligns with Wolmer’s Girls’ School’s commitment to providing the best possible resources and facilities to its students. By ensuring a comfortable and supportive setting, the school aims to foster an environment where students can excel academically and develop their skills effectively.
