Gym under construction for Central Leeward Secondary

The Central Leeward Secondary School will soon welcome a brand-new gymnasium, being constructed under the Quick-Impact Project funded by the Republic of India. It will have all the features of a modern school gymnasium.

Minister of Sport and Area Representative, Orando Brewster told the Agency for Public Information (API) that the school continues to perform well in sport, and its athletes have represented St Vincent and the Grenadine at the regional games. He thinks such a facility will help in their development.

“This facility will be one of the premier gym facilities on island, that is the aim… I’m hoping we can have all-inclusive programmes that can be run here even though it’s attached to school, …we would like for persons from the community, once there is a structured programme where they can utilize the gym facility,” Minister Brewster remarked.

He added that there are also plans to have gym facilities at other schools as well, and noted that a classroom has been repurposed to accommodate the school’s gym equipment.

School Coach, Chester Morgan said the gym would be a welcome addition to the school and would allow student/ athletes in their training, and also promote effective health and wellness programmes. He indicated that other student/athletes would be able to use the facility especially those involved in national teams, “so it is good for the country on a whole”.

The Gym is expected to be completed in October. (API)
