Honouring Our Heroes







North Side Primary School was recently visited by Mrs. Sybil Ione Mclaughlin MBE, JP. Mrs Mclauglin described what life was like for her growing up as a girl and the reasons she decided to enter public service. She also answered many questions from the North Side Primary students during their school assembly. Mrs. Mclaughlin was appointed as the first Speaker of the Legislative Assembly in February 1991 and is the second national hero of the Cayman Islands. Her visit was timely as it brought schoolwide awareness of the contributions of Caymanians during Black History and Women's month. The vote of thanks was delivered by Year 6 student Christie Millwood.
