The graduation circuit in Western Jamaica has been abuzz. While there were colourful ceremonies at schools such as Chetwood Memorial Primary and Supreme Preparatory and Kindergarten School, Cornwall College took pride of place.

Of course, there were other events of note in the west over the past week. The Gleaner's Western Bureau was on hand to capture the events as they unfolded, and today, we will give you a little Something Extra.
