Diallo Rabain, the Education Minister, said: “This donation is an instrumental resource for middle school business studies, students who are engaged in research on business, marketing, finance, IT and media fundamentals.

“This type of support is a prime example of how community partnerships can assist and support students to explore subject material connected to their circular interests and passions.”

It allows all business studies students to have access to technology to enhance lesson experiences, while additional units will be used in the Encore Department.

Natasha Scotland Courcy, Athene Life Re SVP, COO and general counsel, said: “We are happy to support Dellwood in providing an engaging classroom to their students.

“Our donation to Dellwood’s Business Studies programme is an example of Athene’s commitment to help improve the learning experience for students in Bermuda so they can reach their educational goals. We believe it is our corporate responsibility to give back to the community.”

Joe Mahoney, director of the YEI, which helped facilitate this donation stated: “It is important to note that as the school transformation processes plays out, we must continue to support the middle schools over the next few years with the necessary tools and resources to access to 21st-century curriculum.

“This is one way the YEI continues our work to support the middle school business studies teachers leading up to the restructuring to a two-tiered system.”

Dellwood Middle School head Boy Santonio Cherrington also had thanks on behalf of students and teachers for the corporate support.
