Starting college can be daunting especially at a time when the world faces the formidable COVID

19 pandemic. The year-long pandemic has caused much anxiety and created many challenges for

everyone. We are now in a new normal that has derailed our education landscape and changed

how we function individually and as a society. As students, we ask you to be responsible for

conforming to our protocols. I want to assure you that we are monitoring the COVID-19 situation

closely and have updated our policies and procedures to prioritize the health and safety of the

realize your dreams. We will put a path before you that transforms and inspires you. I encourage

you to become good citizens and excellent teachers, working towards promoting a climate that is

I close with the words of wisdom from Thomas Edison “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.

The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time”.

Welcome

Garth Anderson, Ed.D.

Important to the excellence and successes we have achieved are the improvements to the physical

The new academic year begins at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact

Welcome to Church Teachers’ College: Mandeville and the 2021-2022 academic


year!
The Church Teachers’ College community is here to support you every step of the
way in your academic journey and career development. You are about to commence
one of the most exciting and fulfilling times in your life. As an institution we are
indeed proud that we will be able to cater to your needs as you embark on this quest
to achieve your academic and personal goals.
You have decided to join this institution at a challenging time in history, resulting
from the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, nothing should prevent you from
accomplishing success in any way you choose to define it. This year, take advantage of every opportunity
to develop yourself. This involves using the numerous student resources and support services available to
you. To glean more, I urge you to read all student advisories, visit the College website, participate in all
orientation activities and attend all sessions scheduled for you during the academic year. We have a rich co
-curricular programme that offers diverse opportunities for you to explore your interests and cultivate
leadership skills. I implore you to participate in these activities, to contribute to College life and the wider
society while building your professional and social networks.
The week of orientation is planned to help you get acclimatized to a new institution and its culture. It will
provide you with valuable and pertinent information that will serve as a guide as you embark on becoming
a teacher.
The teaching profession requires practitioners who are genuinely committed to nation building and
individuals who will embrace all opportunities to hone their instructional craft to the benefit of providing
their students with optimal learning experiences. I hope that you will eventually grow into the type of
teacher who will sufficiently satisfy this relevant demand.
The institution displays a commitment to academic excellence, focuses on the holistic development of the
whole person. This College has a formidable history and reputation of producing teachers with exceptional
qualities, who are making an impact on the educational landscape.
Your college experience will be what you make it, and your opportunities will only be limited by the
limits you place on yourself. I encourage you to capitalise on your time here. Play an active role in your
overall development.
As you navigate your way through life at CTC, make good connections, build collegiality, choose wisely,
set high standards for yourselves and never settle for mediocrity.
I hope your time spent here will be rewarding and challenges you in novel and diverse ways. Your
academic success is our chief priority – study hard and enjoy your CTC experience.

History
The Mayflower Bloomed and Continues to Bloom
The College began in September 1965 as Mandeville Teachers' College. The institution was established with
the blessing and authority of the Rt. Rev. Percival Gibson, then Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Jamaica.
The moving figure to obtain the facilities for a College of Education in Mandeville at that time was
The Rt. Rev. Benjamin Vaughan, Bishop of Mandeville. He was the first Chairman of the Board of
Management, and he ensured that benefactors such as the Kerr Jarrett family, Dr. Herbert Morrison and the
Ministry of Education were convinced of the value of the college to the community and the island in general.
Bishop Vaughan remained a faithful friend and benefactor of the College until his death in 2003.

The College was established in a building which formerly housed the Mayflower Hotel with its beautiful
gardens, swimming pool and tennis court. The building with land conveniently adjoined lands owned by the
Mandeville Parish Church was bought by the Anglican Diocese. The hotel and land were offered to the
government as a suitable site for the establishment of a teacher training college. The Diocese continues to
play an integral role in the life of the College.

The first Acting Principal was the late Mr. R. Geralt Jones a Welch educator and writer who served from
1965-1967. Those years were characterized by pioneering spirit, a strong sense of creative adventure and
strong social conscience. The College began with six lecturers, 75 handpicked students, a small
administrative staff, and an ancillary staff partly inherited from the hotel days set out to create what was then
known as the Mandeville Teachers’ College.

The six lecturers were called the ‘Mayflower six’ which included Mrs. Sue Jones, wife of Mr. Geralt Jones
who taught music. Deaconess Winnie Hoilett, who later became the Rev. Winnie Bolle, the late Mrs. Joan
Swaby who taught Spanish and English, Mrs. Phyllis Bachelor, who taught Home Economics and the Rev
Dr. Kenneth Thaxter, a lay reader in the Anglican Church, who taught English, Social Studies, History and
Physical Education.

The Rev. Orlando Lindsay, who served from 1967-1970, succeeded Mr. Jones as principal before leaving to
become the Bishop of Antigua and later the Archbishop of the West Indies, was the first permanently-
appointed Principal. During this period the college was renamed Church Teachers’ College. A physical
expansion programme, which had started with Mr. Jones continued and saw the building of the Kerr-Jarrett
Hall, and what is now known as Jones Hall was extended. There was also the completion of St. Mathias
Chapel (dedicated by the Archbishop of Canterbury), the Gymnasium, a new classroom block and Spathodia
Hall.

The Rev. William Murray became Principal in 1970 and served until 1978 he subsequently left to serve as
Bishop of Mandeville, and in that capacity, was also Chairman of the College Board. During his tenure many
new buildings were erected including, additional staff cottages and flats; Lindsay House, a complex
consisting of Bolle Hall, Gibson Hall, Campbell Hall, Swaby Hall, Scott Hall; the Lecture Theatre; the
library and the Early Childhood School.

Rev. Dr. Kenneth Thaxter succeeded the Rt. Rev. William Murray in 1979 and served until 1996. Rev.
Thaxter was a member of the Mayflower Six and was the writer of the college song, which is still sung
today.
7
In the beginning, the College offered courses in training of teachers at the primary and secondary levels.
Of the original 75 students, 25 were trained as primary teachers and the remaining 50 as teachers at the
secondary level. This highly qualified first batch of students (the Batch one) established a reputation for
academic excellence. Many traditions, some of which still survive, were set in motion during those years.

Spathodia, the yearbook, was named after the colourful spathodia plant with its olive green leaves and
bright orange flowers which still adorn the campus. The green and orange have remained the college
colours. The College tradition included: The Minizine, the student newspaper; Annual Awards Dinner;
Valedictory Service; Carol Service; The Eisteddfod; Annual Fair and the Annual Full Length plays.
During those early years, students endured hardship like living at Moorland Campus on the outskirt of
Mandeville. There was however a strong commitment to community service; many students conducted
literacy classes at night in rural villages; worked in disadvantaged children’s homes and infirmary; some
for internship, volunteered to reopen closed schools in remote parts of the island for example Hanover and
Portland.

The College has grown from its small beginning of 75 students in 1965, to a current population of 978
students. Initially for a period was the only institution in the island which focused on the training of
teachers for the 12+ to 17+ age group. Later, Post-Certificate students in both Primary and Secondary
areas were trained. In the early 90’s the College began training University Graduates to pursue
professional qualifications for the Diploma in Teacher Education. Today, the College prepares students for
a Bachelor of Education Degree at the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary levels. It has an Evening
Institute that offers full time and part time degree programmes on main campus and through its satellite
campus in Brown’s Town, St. Ann. Members of the community are also prepared for the Caribbean
Examinations Council (CXC) examinations. There was the establishment of a CSEC Institute located on
the Elizabeth House property in September 2018. From the outset, the college has been a member of the
Joint Board of Teachers Education (JBTE) located at the University of the West Indies. The College is a
member of Teachers’ Colleges of Jamaica (TCJ) and offers a degree in conjunction with the University of
the West Indies.

The College enjoys a collaborative relationship with Temple University in the USA through which it
offered the B.Sc. in Primary and Early Childhood Education, M Ed in Educational Administration and
Leadership with a concentration in Instructional Leadership which began in the summer of 2009 and a
Doctorate in Educational Leadership which started in 2012. We continue to expand our offerings and
collaboration with offshore universities.
The College’s infrastructure and offerings continues to grow. It has state-of-the-art Computer Labs that
prepare teachers in training to teach computer skills in schools and to integrate ICT in their methodology.
It also provides opportunities for community members to obtain computer training. A well-equipped
gymnasium that is opened to the public. In addition, The Institute for Excellence in Teacher Education and
Leadership in collaboration with National College for Educational Leadership (NCEL) offers middle
leaders training at the Brown’s Town and main campus to aspiring middle leaders and those who are in
leadership positions and desire training. More recently there has been the establishment of an Intervention
and Assessment Centre in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and also, The School of Early
Childhood, Primary and the Creative Arts.

Church Teachers’ College: Mandeville has maintained its reputation as an institution, the graduates have
achieved high academic awards and continue to serve their country with excellence. It has won awards for
its performance in all academic areas in the final JBTE examinations. Many of its graduates have been the

Ministry of Education. A number of these recipients are currently on the academic staff of the College.
Other graduates continue to give outstanding services in education and non-education fields in Jamaica and
overseas.

The College is organized with Revd. Dr Howard Gregory, Lord Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of
Jamaica and the Cayman Islands as president of the institution. The Board of Management is chaired by
Rev. Charles Danvers who recently replaced The Very Rev. Barrington Soares. The College benefits from
a co-operative and committed staff at all levels of the organization.

The College Song

This Is Our College


(Words Written by Rev. Dr. Kenneth Thaxter- Past Principal)

1. High in the hills of Manchester


Set in the heart of a town
Stands a place of learning
For students all around.

Chorus:
This, this is our college
Church Teachers' College
Where knowledge, love and unity
Shall rule for evermore.

2. Clear to the eyes of all of us


Spathodia may be seen
We’re pioneers of our age
For learning true and serene.

3. We learn through love and wisdom


Of God as well as of man;
No task or duty is too mean
We work as well as we can

4. Forth in the name of Jamaica


We tread our steady ways,
Hope for strength and courage
We cherish all our days

17
The Crest

The crest depicts a heraldic shield with the central device of an open book, a symbol of learning. Above is a
bishop’s mitre and encircling the shield is a garland of green leaves and Spathodia blooms. Between the
shield and the garland are the words of the College Motto in Latin.

The College Colours/Flag

The colours of the College flag are orange and green, the Spathodia colours. The Spathodia known also as
the African tulip abounds in Mandeville, and many trees once stood on the College grounds, and in the
general area of the campus. The Spathodia was adopted by the College, and a Hall of residence as well as the
College magazine were thus named.
