Cognizant of the fact that Beersheba Primary School (Government Leased) could be one of the under populated school on the Ministry of Education radar to be closed because of dwindling student population at these schools; the Principal and Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) has formulated a strategic plan that is intended to accomplish the following objectives:
1. Improve the real and imaginary antagonistic adversarial relationship that has allegedly existed between the academic teaching staff and parents for some time.
2. Turn around the school by halting the consistent migration of students from Beersheba Primary School to neighbouring New Roads All Age School in Westmoreland.
3. Rekindle the interest of parents to participate in activities at the school by taking PTA meetings directly to parents in all districts that comprise Beersheba Primary School Community.
Against the backdrop of excellent passing grades by students from Beersheba Primary School who sat the 2015 Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT), it is hoped that success achieved by these students will reinvigorate and mobilize parents to grow the student population at the school for 2015/2016 school year so to remove the once Ivy League School from the Ministry of Education radar and prevent the school from being closed because animosity, alleged tyrannical oligarchy rule and the practice of divide and rule that has resulted in some parents supporting the Principal and others who do not has adversely affected the relationship between Parents, the Principal and certain members of the Academic Teaching Staff.
Implementation and evaluation of the strategic plan that was conceptualized by Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) at a meeting that was held in the main auditorium at Beersheba Primary School on June 19, 2015, will see Mrs. Tatlin E. Smith-Williams, Principal, Beersheba Primary School, other members of the Academic Teaching Staff, Parents from Flint Valley, Long Ground, Happy Hall and representatives of Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) attend a PTA meeting that will be held at Eugenie “Cherry” Farquharson’s shop at Flint Valley, New Market, Saint Elizabeth.
In the pursuance of philanthropy that it has been doing since 2009, Beersheba Old Students Association (BOSA) informed the meeting that was held on June 14, 2015, that was attended by students from Beersheba Primary School that were successful in the Ministry of Education Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT), their parents, and the Principal, that the Association will provide each student whom the Ministry of Education has placed at Hampton School, Saint Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) and Black River High School with three (3) sets of uniform.
