Principal’s Message

Dear Students,

I am delighted to welcome you to Barbados Community College (BCC), where each year, a vibrant influx of students enroll in associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, diplomas, and certificate programs.

At BCC, we embrace an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to learning, fostering an environment that values both teamwork and self-sufficiency. We are committed to celebrating our rich traditions, heritage, and culture, where we provide spaces for that diverse tapestry of voices, ideas, and experiences that spark creativity and drive innovation.

In today's world, we face numerous international, regional, and local challenges that can influence our quality of life. As a tertiary institution, we have a vital role to play in responding to the current and future needs of society. For instance, we are implementing sustainable practices, such as waste management initiatives and we are focusing on increasing our community engagement in order to address current social issues. We invite you to join us in these efforts that emanate from our three (3) pillars; Community, Service, Sustainability; and make a positive impact.

We encourage you to get involved beyond the classroom. We have an active Students’ Guild and there are a variety of student clubs, organizations, and activities to help you discover your passions and develop leadership skills. Remember, this journey is about more than academic achievement; it’s about self-discovery, resilience, and discipline. While you may not use all of your acquired knowledge directly in the workplace, the skills you develop, such as adaptability, perseverance, and teamwork, will be invaluable.

Make your time with us meaningful. Be bold, dream big, and break down any barriers that stand in the way of reaching your full potential. You are meant to thrive and live a limitless life, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Annette Alleyne
