Doris Robinson Primary School
Conch Bar, Middle Caicos

Middle Caicos is the largest island of the Turks & Caicos Islands, 48 square miles, and has the smallest population, only 271 people. There are 3 villages: Conch Bar, where 52 families live, Bambarra, with 21 families and Lorimers with only 6 families.

We come to Doris Robinson school everyday by bus - which looks like your family van. The longest ride is from Lorimers which is 15 miles from Conch Bar.

Our school was built in .... It was named after a teacher, Doris Robinson, the first teacher at our school who was a native of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

There are 47 students attending classes, forms (grades) 1-6 and K1 and K2. We have 3 teachers and 1 volunteer, 4 classrooms and 1 library, which is big enough to double as an auditorium where we all gather. Earleen Elliott is our headmistress and also one of our teachers.

The teachers have their own room where they can get away from us. They have a kitchen in there.

We come to school every day from 8:30am to 2:15pm except on Friday when we get to go home at 12:15pm. We have a small tuck shop that provides a small snack at school. When we go home at 2:15pm we have our main meal for the day.

We wear uniforms to school, they look like this:

This is our really cool playground that was just built by donations and volunteers.

Every year our school has a Christmas pageant where we put on a play and do recitations.

One time a famous musician came to visit us and played his viola

We like to play instruments too!

We have a band. Teddy Stewart, the local police man, is our instructor. He gave us some of the instruments, other's came from various donators.

Our favorite class is computers. We have 7 computers now. We will be rearranging this room soon so we can add the other machines (not in the picture)

"Mama" is our computer teacher. She volunteers all of her time with us. She is a special person on this planet and we love all the things she teaches us.  You can see our work by clicking here

Every year we look forward to our graduation ceremony. At the end of our  6th year at Doris Robinson Primary we take an exam. If we pass, we continue onto high school. Since there is no high school on Middle Caicos,  we leave our homes and move to either the islands of Grand Turk, North Caicos or Providenciales.
