QUEEN'S COLLEGE OBSERVES WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY WITH BRIEF INFORMATIVE SESSION

On September 10, 2026, Queen’s College hosted a short but informative session in observance of World Su***de Prevention Day under the theme “Changing the Narrative.” The program, chaired by Mr. Albert Inshanally, featured representatives from the Ministry of Education - Ms. Jessica Anthony, Director of School Health, and Ms. Browne, Guidance and Counselling Officer.

Their presentation focused on understanding su***de, identifying warning signs, and raising awareness of prevention and support. Ms. Anthony emphasized that words matter and encouraged the use of terms such as “died by su***de” and “attempted su***de”, rather than language that may suggest su***de is a crime or describe an attempt in terms of success or failure.

Students participated in discussions with the speakers about factors associated with su***de. The speakers explained that su***de is complex, and may be influenced by several risk factors particularly when individuals lack adequate protective factors and support. Protective factors and support discussed included healthy relationships, support from family and friends, therapy, religion, and access to appropriate services.

Students also learnt about various warning signs and were informed about available support services, including the Ministry of Education Student Support Unit, Mentalhealth.gov.gy and the MOH 915 Su***de Prevention Helpline, which operates 24 hours a day.

At the conclusion of the session, Ms. Anthony provided the email [email protected] for young people seeking assistance. The programme then closed with a vote of thanks from student Nowantie Kaydarnath.

EMC AND NAREI LAUNCH MANGROVE AWARENESS LIBRARY CORNER AT QUEEN’S COLLEGE

 On September 9, 2026, the Environmental Management Consultants Inc. (EMC), in partnership with the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI), made the official handover of a Mangrove Awareness Library Corner to Queen’s College.

This educational initiative aims to provide students with the tools to better understand the ecological and socio-economic case for conserving Guyana’s mangroves, thereby raising their environmental literacy. The corner has been stocked with research papers, brochures, and other publications for use by both teachers and pupils. Featured titles cover mangrove ecology, coastal protection mechanisms, biodiversity, and national restoration efforts. In addition to printed literature, the installation includes displays on sustainable mangrove by-products, such as organic honey, honey soap, and beeswax candles, to illustrate how a sound coastal ecosystem underpins the community's livelihoods.

The project is an offshoot the Guyana Conservation Initiative (GCI). EMC and the Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development have implemented the GCI with funding support from the ExxonMobil Foundation. Through these ties with NAREI and other institutions in the area, the program is well on its way to establishing comparable library corners in schools throughout Guyana as it seeks to foster future environmental stewards.
