The Catholic College of Mandeville welcomes you to our exciting newsletter about what is happening in and around our campus.
We trust that with COVID-19 impacting the world and our country, the sunshine of hope will give a healthy mind to find solace in the fact that each day brings the promise of hope to rise, become intuitive, and proactive to care for self and others who need our help. The sun still shines. 
President’s Welcome
In the midst of this COVID-19 pandemic none of us wants to be contagious; however, as President of Catholic College of Mandeville I strongly urge us all to be contagious…as we spread a positive attitude. Welcome to our first newsletter for this term and special welcome to our newest population of students and recent members of staff. Let me encourage us all to be strong, to talk about health and happiness as we seek academic advancement. Let us be too strong to fear and continue daily to ‘fulfill dreams and aspiration through education’ too strong for fear…
