Born in the Parish of
Clarendon, I, Jacqueline Phillips am one of
thirteen siblings, four sons’ nine daughters I
am the fifth daughter, my mothers' name is Linda
Hart and my fathers' name is Sylvan Phillips.
I was blessed to be a mother
of three beautiful children two sons and a
daughter, who in turn have made me an extremely
proud grandmother of 5 gorgeous grandchildren 2
boys and 3 girls.
I am privileged to have
journeyed through life with experiences that
have led me to reside in the lush Parish of St
Mary, within the Maroon Town of Scotts' Hall,
this small but rich historical place continues
to embrace and boast about its Maroon heritage,
traditions, legacy and future endeavours in
modern day times.
My childhood days are filled
with many fond memories of growing up and going
to school at the Scotts' Hall all Age school.
Having spent some years in the Parish of St Ann
with my grandmother and Aunt, attending the
Claremont All age school, then continued my
education within Fern Court High School.
Completing my school
education back in the parish of St Mary at
Queens High School, later attending the
institute of higher learning to achieve seven
C.X.C & O level Business subjects.
Spending my formatives years
as a parent, has helped me to gravitate towards
working with children. My passion for supporting
community initiatives for the betterment of
young people and their education to help them
transition into well balanced young adults
continues to be the power base that draws me to
working with the local Scotts' Hall Primary
school and the students' educational
achievements and aspirations.
I am one of a group of
individuals who have led the way to create a
support network to assist the development of our
local primary school through the "Past School
Association"
With a love of the written
word… my love of reading continues to spill over
to encourage the young children I work with to
also embrace and develop a love for literacy and
the spoken word in all its many forms of
exciting adventurous stories, fun filled jokes,
riddles, rhymes and lyrical songs, that always
seems to be able to put a smile on childrens'
faces, which is a priceless achievement in it
self in these modern times of much hardship for
many families.
My interests further extend
to a love in my natural surroundings of the lush
nature of vegetation, trees etc, of which
Scotts' Hall has been built around. I am greatly
blessed with the love of God to be privileged to
live in such a beautiful environment.
I am excited with the
prospect of being part of the future
developments and improvements of all schools
especially the Scotts' Hall Maroon Town Primary.
