Ellerslie Secondary School

Ellerslie Secondary School is located in Black Rock, St. Michael.  The area occupied by the school was once part of the Ellerslie Plantation.  Construction of  commenced in 1965 and Ellerslie Comprehensive, as it was then called, opened fully on 26 September 1966, under the leadership of Mr. Cuthbert W. Brathwaite, Headmaster, and Mr. William Isaacs, Acting Deputy Headmaster.  The records indicated that the initial intake of pupils was 181 boys and 151 girls and they came from schools such as: St. Stephen’s Junior, Montgomery Boys’, Good Shepherd Primary, Edghill Memorial Girls’, and ranged in age from 11 to 13 years old.  The roll of the school increased significantly to 1420 by September 1970 and over 1700 by September 1971.  Therefore, some of the classes had to be accommodated at the Farm Annex in Deacon’s Road under the leadership of Mr. Edward Straughan and a staff of six other teachers.  The Assembly Hall as well as the much needed additional classrooms were constructed in 1971.  The hall was officially opened on 29 April, 1971 by the Minister of Education, Hon. Erskine Sandiford.  Five years later, further extensions of the school were carried out and it was officially declared open by the Minister of Education, Hon. Louis Tull on 29 September, 1976.

Orientation Day for First Formers

Dear Parents/Guardians

The Ellerslie Secondary School will be hosting a special Orientation Day for the new students of the first year on Wednesday, 6th September 2017. We are expected to begin at 8:30 am and conclude at 2:40 pm.
Besides providing an opportunity for this cohort of students to socialise with each other and get familiar with the school’s environment, on that day we hope to achieve the following between 8:30 am and 9:10 am:

· Engagement in Prayers at Assembly (Students must know the School’s Song and Motto);
· Meeting of the Year Head and Form Teachers;
· Inspection of Uniforms (Any breaches found, the parents will be informed).

Two diagnostic tests will be done by the students on that day. These include:

· The English Language Diagnostic Test (9:30 am to 11: 30 am);
· The Mathematics Diagnostic Test will be done from 12:40 pm to 2:40 pm.

Please note that there will be a lunch break from 11:30 am to 12: 30 am. You can provide a pack lunch for your child/ward on that day.
