The cadets also have outreach activities which incudes the visiting of other schools.
one of such schools was Emmanuel Prep for a flag raising on Jamaica Day. It was well received.
We also visited Queen’s high school for a donation drive for a Girl’s home in 2023.
JC Cadets participate in major activities at the school. Like the start of Jamaica Day, by taking in the Flag and waiting until the National Anthem is sung before marching out.
