The Young Leaders project for 2005 is Strengthening Caribbean Society - Our Vision, Our Culture, Our People. The Young Leaders have decided to use the Black History Month celebrations as part of their project and are organising and implementing the activities throughout the school.

The celebrations were opened with a ceremony which featured the raising of flags from 18 Caribbean territories.
