Express Canteen Services invests $1m in Sts Peter and Paul’s Prep School champs defence

Sts Peter and Paul's Preparatory School in Kingston received a significant boost for its upcoming Prep School Championships defense with a J$1 million donation from Express Canteen Services. This contribution, presented by managing director Ryan Foster, doubles the company's support from the previous year and strengthens a partnership that school officials deem vital for their sports program's development.

This investment of $1 million in Sts Peter and Paul’s track programme is an attestation to the confidence I have in the ability of the principal and the coach to matriculate these boys and girls not only on the field but also in the classroom.

Foster expressed confidence in the school's leadership and its ability to foster student success both on and off the field. "This investment of $1 million in Sts Peter and Paul’s track programme is an attestation to the confidence I have in the ability of the principal and the coach to matriculate these boys and girls not only on the field but also in the classroom," he stated. He added that the company is "elated" with the school's recent successes in football, track and field, and netball, viewing the returns on their investment as tangible in the students' self-actualization.

As their nutritional partner, we are extremely elated with the success of the school over the past two to three years in football, track and field, and netball. The returns on this investment are bankable and seen in the self-actualisation of the students in life after prep champs.

Principal Claudia Nugent emphasized the timing and impact of the donation, noting it arrives as the reigning champions prepare for the three-day championships scheduled for June 11-13. "It has helped tremendously," Nugent said. "This will be the second year that Express Canteen Services is coming on board with us and assisting with the sports programme. It has gone a far way in helping us." As a private institution, the school relies heavily on school fees and fundraising, making external support critical for offsetting the rising costs associated with running a successful sports program, which includes expenses beyond competition days, such as feeding and gear.

“

My joy comes from positively impacting the lives of our partners and seeing those achievements. I am extremely pleased with what Ms Nugent and Coach Kirby have done, along with the PTA, to hold Sts Peter and Paul in such high esteem. We wish them every success in defending their title and guarantee them that with every step and stride, Express Canteen will be there to support one of our strongest partners.
